Knowing your previous work, I'm sure this VC will be stunning.

Is it just me or do more people think this Fiat looks a bit like a cardboard version of the DC3?

Hi Huub,

This is a little piece of the G.18V :
During the Thirties the Italian civil aviation began re-equipping with aircraft of national conception, after a fairly long time-span during which aircraft from the Dornier, Fokker and Junkers factories had had a primary role in the supply of commercial transport machines.The contemporary American production, including Douglas's D.C.1, D.C.2 and, naturally, the D.C.3 had of course an influence upon Italian designers, in particular upon ingegner Giuseppe Gabrielli who had been able to personally study the progress achieved by technology on the other side of the Atlantic ocean. While Savoia Marchetti’s three engine air­craft were fulfilling Ala Littoria’s requirements, Avio Linee Italiane were availing themselves of the aeronautical industry by which they were being supported. Thus, the A.P.R.2 (Aereo Postale Rosatelli), an ingegner Rosatelli’s little twin-engine 9-seater, built in a single example only, was being operated in 1936 on the Turin-Rome route, but was soon followed by Gabrielli's G.18, a more capable and heavier twin engine machine. In the Venice-Milan-Turin-Paris-London route (started in June 1938), the A.L.I.'s G.18Vs established a direct connection of England with Italy and proved to be one of the fastest commercial aircraft of the time (the whole route was covered in seven and half hours). The G.18V were reliable machines and showed a good operational efficiency.

Very interesting project Manuele, and again a great tribute to italian aeronautical history.
Many thanks

[huub vink]

Thanks for clarifying Manuele. So the similarities weren't really coincidence.

Looks like a future "keeper" in the making!:ernae:

Looks great Manuele. :applause:

Found this article about Avio Linee inaugurating it's London-Venice route in the G.18. (You might have to save to your computer to open).

Hi Friends,
I've just received a message from FSAviator: he is interested in developing FDEs for my G.18V, but, we are very busy and the project will have some retards. We hope to finish it before February '09. Unfortunately my PC is "dead" :censored::censored::censored::censored: (I saved the HDs) and I can work only at office (during pauses, obviously).
Sorry......

No need to say "sorry" Manuele, you are already spoiling us with your beautiful models.

Hopefully you can get your PC in working order again soon.
