I completely agree, Il-2 1946 is already full of 'what if' planes, so why not some 'what if' carriers :wink: ?
This MC.605 is only an hoax. Last Mario Castoldi's project was MC.207, and its prototype was never completed. A twin fuselage MC.205 was proposed by other designers, but it never went off the drawing table.
Only one G.50bis/OR prototype was built, the final model should be G.50bisA/OR with wider wings and 2 x 12.7 MG more, but due to bad results this project was canceled and carrier Aquila should be equipped with 51 Reggiane Re.2001OR fighter-bombers only.
All Royal Italian Navy ships were painted with a camo like this one (Condottieri III class light cruiser, a WIP of mine):

So it could be added eventually.
