A familiar shape which simply shouts "1930s", the 'Sparviero' (Italian for Sparrowhawk) flew in Italian service from 1936 until 1952.
The Sparviero served mostly as a torpedo bomber and both these models are so armed. I suspect that in Megablitz games, however, they'll mostly be used for conventional bombing.

I know, it's these tight trousers. Oh, you meant the 'planes....
Rather nice little reproductions - certainly captured the look of the hunchback.
Tim, I've probably not been paying attention, but where do you get these Gashapon kits from ?

It's a very distinctive shape.
Very nice kits and nicely done. My favourite photos so far in all the aircraft postings of late.
Torpedoes AWAY! Smashing stuff!
Wizard kites !
Those Itie chappies certainly have style.

...and the ones I didn't paint. Coincidence? I don't think so!

I say, steady on old chap, or else I'll feel obliged to field them as torpedo bombers at lead once...
