Here’s the caption I found
CANT (Cantieri Aeronautici e Navali Triestini) Z.506 Airone air sea rescue seaplane picks up survivors from an Italian CANT Z.1007 shot down over the Mediterranean that had been on a bombing mission over Egypt - 1943

That would fit. According to wikipedia:
CANT 506:
CANT 1007 (with modified tail)

CANT 1007 bomber.
Italeri have announced they’re reissuing the old Supermodel kit this year. Hopefully they’re upgrading the moulds with a more detailed interior and engine cowls. We’ll see when it hits the shelves.
Ohh that would be cool indeed!! Thanks for the info.

No worries.
I’m interested to see what they’ve done with it once they hit the shelves. I have an old Supermodel boxing and definitely a tooling of it’s day. Nothing in the cockpit but stumps for an alien like crew to sit. Engine cowlings are just tubes with bumps for the cooling gills.
I’ve been slowly working on a collection of aircraft from the Malta campaign, so definitely need a few Italian bombers.
