Title: Fiat G12 LGA-A.R.126
Post by: santynus on August 28, 2006, 10:33:22 PM: Hi All

Fiat G12 LGA-A.R.126 Nucleo Comunicazioni LATI Tobruk, early November 1942

My source is one B/W profile from [Hikoki Publications] - Hungarian Eagles, this profile is wrong, I spent a lot of time fo search detail from photo or other source, but I found very little information about this aircraft :(
I try to do my best, but I know the final drawing is not correct.

I attach the B/W from [Hikoki Publications] - Hungarian Eagles and my Color Profile
