Smile Savoia Marchetti S.79 wearing strange Luftwaffe Markings/Camouflage
Hi all

Below are 2 images of a Savoia Marchetti S.79 "SPARVIERO" in Luftwaffe markings. There is some speculation as to whether the undersides were painted yellow or not. Has anyone got anymore evidence or views regarding the yellow undersides?

There is a discussion on the matter that I found on LEMB: Here (Starts half way down page!)

I just wondered if any of you guys have any ideas?

Thanks in advance. Here are the images:
