Over all the Cant Z 1007 and the SM 79 saw more service on all fronts and were for various reasions more suxcessfull than their counterparts, this is a stong point for arguing their inclushion they fit into a wider number of CT and special events because of this. Now out of the two the Cant Z 1007 as we see above clearly as the preformance edge, which would even make it usefull in the MA.

I was afraid someone was going to say something like that.

The cant would be fine

but the P-108 would be more fun in the MA.

P.S.: And the SM79 would give us another hunchback

I gues you could say it's a LONG Shot:)

hopefully you'll get one...along with a G.55 or such. The 205 is certainly an outstanding mid war bird. you'd actually have a pretty decent scenario set with just the 202/205 and a nice tactical bomber. Especially if you were looking at a p-40, hurricane, spit V/IX with Bostons/A20's on allied side.

Cant Z 1007 is an art-deco streamlining masterpiece (except for the tail braces). off the top of my head i cant think of a WWII combat plane w/ equal beauty except maybe early P-38s

Bahhhh... Next thing you know, you'll be telling me that the French make good food, a fine wine, and that their aircraft are the most beautiful things to grace the sky !

*taps foot impatiently waiting for Straffo to show up*

What? A 25, make 26, replies thread about those two ugly butt italian bombers?

Sorry Brady, I still prefer the SM79

Its so cool ... moreover you should read some after action reports of those aircrews and the way they attacked Royal Navy convoys ...

Well My Ali d'Italia 18 is on the way as I type should be hear this week:), I will have a few private moments with it I am shure:)

bah Straffo, your way too pretty to be my father you sissy french boy !!! (and silly to boot !!)

just kidding

My father was a jack booted beer swilling sausage devouring Prussian drill sergeant.

(actually my great grandfather, but close enough).

To be honest, none of the Italian bombers is going to be good for much more than "waving the flag" for Italians in scenarios and other special events. But if we had one, I like the cleaner lines, and more interesting camo schemes of the SM79.

I dont know Vermillion, thats a prety usefull load on the Cant Z 1007 ( little biger than a B 26, and way bigger than a Ki 67) and those torpedos shure would be usefull, If your going to go you might as well go in stile:)
