This is Stormo Magazine's third aces sheet and like the earlier one, provides markings for six different aircraft.  The sheet includes only the unique markings and provides insignia only where the kit's markings are inaccurate. Any data markings and additional insignia will need to come from the kit. The sheet includes the tail cross for all of the aircraft as well as propeller markings

So what is on the sheet?

Initial offering is a Macchi C.202 flown by Tenente Emanuele Annoni of the 96th Squadrigila in October 1941. yellow nose  on this plane.

Another Macchi C.202 from 75a Squadriglia as flown by Capitano Mario Pinna, the unit's Co in September 1942 when based in Egypt.

From 74a Squadriglia is a Macchi C.202 of Tenente Giorgio Solari when based in Egypt in 1942.

The final Macchi C.202 is that of Tenente Giulio Reiner of 73a squadrigliar. This plane was also based in Egypt in July of 1942.

A popular scheme for the Fiat G.55 is this one flown by Tenente Ugo Drago of 1a Squadriglia in may of 1944.

Finally, a Reggiane Re.2005 of Maggiore Vittorio Minguzzi of 362a Squadriglia during July 1942. This was the prototype aircraft.

Instructions are printed in full color with detailed information on the painting of each aircraft provided as well as any detail notes. A listing of appropriate kits is also provided for each type as are references for the markings themselves. The decals themselves are superbly printed by Cartograf and quite thin, making for a logical choice for your next project.
