Used by the Regia Aeronautica from 1936, the Breda 71 first saw action in Italian East Africa, bombing the native tribesmen. This photo taken in North Africa in 1941.
Of the 127 aircraft built, by the start of the North African campaign, only 57 remained in service. Designed as a light bomber, these aircraft were used up until 1943 when the last was destroyed by the RAF.

Darn! That's ugly (this greenhouse canopy looks very Amiot or Farman!) but so imaginative! Cool kitbash...

Now that really does look like a late 30's Italian "Colonial" bird.

I've heard of greenhouse canopies but you should have tomatoes in that one  

Love it
