Re: OK, Test 2
Thanks for sharing this, I know several people who either bought or were given an Airfix kit of the SM79, but got stumped by the paint scheme. I think the Lebanese AF had three of these and they survived into the 1960s, one was returned to Italy and is currently in the Italian AF museum, which I visited in 1995 (highly recommended). There might be one of the others surviving somewhere. But this photo is a gem.
