Yep, its italian Breda Ba.88. 7° Gruppo Autonomo used Bredas at Libya against the British but combat results were dispointing (fitted with sand filters, the engines overheated and failed to deliver their designed power). By mid November 1940 most surviving Ba.88s had been stripped of useful equipment and were scattered around operational airfields as decoys for attacking British aircraft...
