The very presence of the Corpo Aero Italiano on these fronts, however, was proof of determination and the source of extraordinary versions of aircraft camouflage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eMaterials: Publication in book form, numerous color profiles, original illustrations and archival photos, high-quality paper\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eAdditions: Detailed color profiles and aircraft markings, inspiring graphics for modelers to use for painting and marking Italian aircraft models\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eIntended use: Album recommended for aircraft modelers building replicas in scales 1\/72, 1\/48, 1\/32, collectors of Italian aviation topics, and all those interested in World War II\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eLevel of difficulty: 1\/5 – the publication does not require modeling skills and can be used by both beginners and advanced modelers\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003c\/ul\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThe book \u003cstrong\u003eMMP Books 27490 The Fighting Colours of Richard Caruana No. 4\u003c\/strong\u003e stands out for its unique contents – colorful drawings will give a new quality to models of aircraft such as the Fiat CR.42 or Macchi C.200.
