Yes probably...
Thankfully I managed to get some interesting drawings wich could be used to build this baby, from the outside to the inside of the plane. It would be truly awsome to get this one or even a Maryland in game, or a campaing for the Italian Co-Belligerent Air Force. Flying from Sicily to Germany in order to bomb U Boat pens. The most famous pilot who flew a Baltimore was an Italian the leader of the Stormo Baltimore, Massimilano Erasi. He begun flying bi planes and when the war begun he was transfered to a unit wich opearted S.M 79s, and started flying torpedoing missions against the british fleet. But when Mussolini fell and the Allied landings begun he went to volunteer to be the Leader of the recently formed Baltimore squadron. The missions in wich the Italian flew where very dangerous may be even more dangerous than the missions flown by the American B-17s. The had to fly into germany and attack all sorts of military buildings, ships, factorys or U Boat Pens with theyre little Baltimores facing a certain death if encountered by german home defence fighter squadrons, plus they always encountered heavy flak. Erasi himself was shotten down because he got a direct flak hit and was unable to bail out. The ammount of courage wich theese italian pilots had its truly amazing.
Lets wait and see!
Regards!
