The "COM-11"!!! Belonging to the Aero Club Como, it was restored in 1991 and you can admire it in in the hangar close to the football stadium "Giuseppe Sinigaglia", by the shores of lake Como

Great Łukasz! Here you can find some information, the hangar is very close to the city center 🙂

Usually the exhibition can't be visited, but if you are lucky you will find some Aero club employee who will let you "have a look" 🙂

I usually see the airbirds when I see a home football match 🙂

Ehy Łukasz, did you have the opportunity to visit Como? Yesterday Como football club was promoted to Serie A and there are good vibes around the city 🙂

Ciao Moreno
Been to Como around 2 weeks ago, spent there few days. Unfortunately the weather was so bad, that I only saw the open hangar upon leaving. Therefore I had no time to get inside and look at Caproni, I only saw it in the corner while passing by on my way to La Spezia.

Unfortunately this spring is very rainy... Hope you will be able to visit again Como! I'll try to take some pictures

Hi all, some of you guys know in which color is painted this wonderful floatplane?
I've bought the kit but the instructions refer to a "generic" Italian Medium Green which cannot be found among the classic suppliers of modeling colors.
Thanks in advance, Giorgio

Hi Giorgio, in this publication: static.gruppocdt.ch/..rna%20a%20volare.pdf
is stated that it is the original green used by the Caproni factory in the thirties. We should understand if there are some chips somewhere....

I owe you a beer! 🙂

Good Evening Giorgio, just found on the well-known book "Colori e schemi mimetici della Regia Aeronautica" that the color should be: Verde 9, FS14062

Great!!! Thanks a lot! In a couple of week, I should finish the Ilyushin Il-2 actually in progress, and then I can start with the "Caproncino". I'll keep you posted.
Ciao.

Model finished. In the end I used the Tamiya X-5. Found a conversion table where FS14062 correspond to X-5. It seems too dark in my opinion.
If I find a way to upload some photo...

Great news Giorgio! I found the pictures, the green it's maybe a bit too dark but seems ok!
