The Italian Air force of World War 2, the Regia Aeronautica was far frow being as powerful as its German equivalent, but mostly because its lack of industry allowing to produce enough planes. Indeed, it had pretty good planes. And we can easily say that its main bomber, The Piaggio P.108 was even better than most of German bombers because it was the only four-engine bomber of the Axis. But today I will make discover another bomber of the Italian Air Force which entered in its ranks but had not the occasion to demonstrate its potential : The CANT Z.1018 Leone!

    This is an incredible aircraft, and probably to the Allies' good fortune that it came too little, too late. From a quick Google check, the only 1/72 scale model kits I could locate online are expensive, limited production (I guess for added authenticity) resin kits. But AZ Models is bringing out an injection molded kit in the near future that will hopefully fill this gap in any Regia Aeronautica collection. As a sidebar, I also Googled the CS-10 shown at 8:49, but could not find anything; much less any model kits in any scale or medium. Please consider a future video of this interesting aircraft! (When I was in Junior High School, if my friends and I knew of the CS-10; we'd of probably just put an Me-262 in Regia Aeronautica markings if no actual kit was available, (just as we would have done if we wanted a Nakajima Kikka.) But after building kits for over half a century, I'd like something better . . . . Thanks for sharing this! 20th like.

    So much Time and resources wasted on almost nothing being produced . All due to failed leadership . Alas the Italians were unwilling Allies . lol
