Dear Lucass,
I dont feel not completely sure about the kind of infos you are looking for, however the there was a serie III (third production batch) Macchi 202 coded 85-2 that was -according with Italian hystorians Giovanni Massimello and Giorgio Apostolo- frequently used by Italian ace Sergente Maggiore Luigi Gorrini that flew this plane from Tunisia in January 1943 claiming his third and fourth (of an eventual nineteen) victories : a Curtiss P 40 on Janaury the 2nd 1943 (possibly a machine of 250 or perhaps 260 Squadron) and a Spitfire on January the 11th 1943 (not corroborated by existing records but during a combat with Spitfires of 92 Squadron). In both occasions Gorrini took off from the airstrip of Tauorga. You can find a colour profile of the plane and some interesting infos on Gorrini in the Osprey book: "Italian Aces of World War 2".
Hope this was what you were looking for.
Ludovico.

HI,
if you know the data about the plaes loss, you may find out about bases at www.ww2.dk I guess,
and about identification of units based on codes, you may approximatelly find at http://www.stable.demon.co.uk/general/lwmark.htm

Lucass appears to be asking for identities of aircraft as depicted in box art from plastic kits. It may be more helpful to know the kit and then determine the accuracy of the markings before answering the rest of the questions.

Just remembering some of the pointers on how to succeed in this community.

These are not gospel, but far too often ignored.

1. Introduce
2. Explain
3. Ask

Ask with a clear focus and purpose, if you don't you'll simply run the risk of being ignored fairly early in your forum career. Once tagged in a negative manner, it's very difficult to regain the interest and more important the trust of the community.

As moderator I must also share that once you catch my attention in this way, I tend to lean towards better safe than sorry - so when I suspect a troll it is enough to be banned.

But lets not get ahead of ourselves just yet...
