Here are some pictures of my 1/72 scale SM-79 by Italeri, 281* Squadriglia, piloted by C.E. Buscaglia, spring 1942.

I had fun with the paint pattern which was done mostly by hand, using Humbrol paints.  The method I used was that I first applied the ochre color, then I proceeded to paint the green and red/brown blotches by hand (the best way to get it done in a clean way).  

I found the kit easy to work with, although as is the case with every kit, no matter how good the kit is, planning the work ahead of time always helps.
