The Regia Aeronautica Project
This project aims to build some of the most important and iconic aircrafts used by the Regia Aeronautica between 1940 until the September 1943 armistice. After that date, Italian air forces split into the Royalist Italian Co-Belligerent Air Force (Aviazione Cobelligerante Italiana, or ACI) and the National Republican Air Force (Aeronautica Nazionale Repubblicana, or ANR) that flew for the Italian Social Republic and the Axis.
While this is a blog post, I'll try to keep it updated for new planes or the status of current builds.
