In my world the Do-17 in particular was an important plane during the Battle, and the Defiant is sure a plane that is often discussed even though it was a failure... The italians where really of minor significance (but interesting for sure!).

The best would be to have them all but if we can't have them all... As the Italian cockpits are already done I'm crying for nothing I guess - but the Do-17 is really one of my personal "bad guy" favorites...

I was wondering more or less the same. Despite the Italian birds being far superior to the other in terms of technical ingenuity and sheer aeroplanautical beauty, they saw little use in the BoB indeed, as they were 5 or 6 years older than the more recent British types; one can then be led to attribute their presence in game to the need of planes that the Hurris could bag more easily than the German types...
No more seriously, my guess is that the three Italian machines could be used to build quickly other nice theaters with little effort, such as Greece, or North Africa 1940.

Just guessing.
