Some sources (including Italian sources) state that the Caproni was 12.10m long
Including the enclosed cutaway
of the CC.2 aircraft

Yes, but there's the dilemma, which one trust? Most of the sources i've checked state that it was 13.10m long, paradoxically, all of them are in non Italian language, because every source consulted in Italian states that it was 12.10m long...

What to do? Two versions? One of 13.10m and another one of 12.10m? Would that be a solution?

BTW, apart from the scale issue, do you see any drawing error, mistake or something like that?

I guess the 12.10/13.10 thing could easily have been a type somewhere along the line. I would find a reliable 3-view picture if possible, then scale it using the wingspan measurement and see what that gets you. I've done that before.

@Naixoterk
Drawing as such looks generally ok.

@Caddaric79
Awesome work!

Eeeexcelent. Any plans to do a port side view for the Stinger II as have been done with the other AC-130s?

Here's something that has been initially claimed by Rhade, but since he went offline, and I needed it for Polish Wings, I had to do it myself.
Naixoterk was so kind to agree to work on paint schemes, so they should be appearing at a later time.

Italy, CANT Z.505

Italy, CANT Z.506

Incredible work by everyone!
Those CANTs look great and the C-130 series is really shaping up nicely.
