Default Re: Italy OOB 34 corrections/suggestions (v.11) 2018

I've found only two photos of RSI Reggiane 2005 - attached. It was rather not numerous.

The same on Russian page http://www.airwar.ru/enc/cww2/sm75.html.
Besides, 749 should start at 9/43
Icon 486 of SM.82 is more appropriate (now it has icon of smaller SM.79 Sparviero)
Same for 111 RSI OOB
111 SM75 Marsupiale - it's better to replace it with SM.81, which, according to "Camouflage and Markings of the Aeronautica Nationale Repubblicana 1943-1945" book, was typical RSI transport aircraft. The icon 326 could stay then. They carried German crosses - photos attached.

In Italian OOb 111 SM75 Marsupiale could be replaced with SM.81 as well - used as transport planes from late 1940 according to Italian Wikipedia. Photo 16144.

BTW: better icon for Italy 218 S81 Pipistrello bomber is 326 (from SM.79) as well, than current 486 from more modern SM.82 (upper view https://static.rcgroups.net/forums/a...20-%20view.jpg)

According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Savoia-Marchetti_SM.81 it could also carry 4x500 kg bombs.
