anyone have any decent pics of a Ca3 loaded up? Like close up? I have googled and reviewed the datafile and there are some pics but very poor quality and small.

Maybe that is why Lucacz didn't include any.

I found two pictures of a torpedo and its rack under a Ca.3 in my references, but I'm not sure that's what you are looking for.

Will post this weekend.

There is another book: "Gli Aeroplani Caproni - Studi, progetti, realizzazioni dal 1908 al 1935" by Gianni Caproni (the big man himself), but it is costly and I have no idea if there are pictures of the bombracks in there.

Hi all,
This site has many photographs etc of this aircraft.
Some show, not clearly though, bomb racks and bombs.
Could be helpful information,

Hi all, I have been perusing the presnted kit parts.....and.......the more I get into them, the happier and more impressed I am. Crisp, VERY detailed, NO print lines, Metal rods for the wings fit through with no obstructions, NO shipping damage, the wood box was a brainstorm idea! Increadable presentation. and serious shipping protection. This, really, is a most impressive product.

I am very much looking forward to seeing one of our forum members build this beast.

I really hope these beautiful kits in wooden boxes are not stored unbuilt as collectors' items or lucrative investments....
