Just a few questions for you Luthier. What are the italian torpedoes to be used by: Planes? (if yes what plane('s)) Ships?

Hope it is not for the BR.20 Cicogna because, and I quote:

"The Sparvieros superior agility enabled it to perform as a torpedo-bomber, while the Cicogna was never considered for that role."

Or are you also building a Sparvieros??

1. What were the standards for painting the insides of ship vents? Most civilians paint them red. How were they painted on German and British warships?

There are various coulor variations for different kinds of ships, but german warships obviously used RAL 7001 for the inside of vents.

Could you provide us with a little more information regarding the italian torpedo?

Do you mean the 17.7" (45 cm) F200/450 x 5.46 type torpedo (german designation: F5W) ?

That's right, that's the torpedo.

We have a lot of B&W photos of it, where it mostly looks like the body was left unpainted bare metal, and the head was either also bare metal, or painted various colors. Definitely looks like more than one color on different photos, so we're kind of confused. Were there different sub-variants that were painted differently, or simply no standard at all?

[Edit] And yes, this is for the BR-20.

Also, thanks everyone for the other answers, but keep it coming!

Hmm.. This actually concerns me alot to hear. Especially that last part about the torpedo being for the BR.20
I did not know a lot about the BR.20, but since your request have done a study of it on various sites on the internet. On every site it is said, that the BR.20 was never used as a torpedo-bomber and never was concidered for this role.
Do anyone or you Luthier have another angel on this?

Here is some of the homepages I have visited:

Errm I think we had a little bit of a miscommunication here, or rather a little mess-up on my part. It is indeed not for the BR-20.

But we still need the color anyway.

Also, any info on any Italian armaments would be appreciated. What's the difference between a 100M and a 100T, etc?

Wait a moment please. Torpedo for Br.20?! No torpedo for this bird, but only bombs. Where did you hear about it?
