Are you sure of the SAI.503? The improved model was to be the 404 iirc
 
From Italy,

For Regia,single engined attack aircraft, the rivals:
CANSA FC.12,Caproni Ca.355,Savoia SM.93 and Breda Ba.201.

SM.93 was a dive/torpedo bomber. Not really an attack aircraft like the others.

Fiat CR.25 was put into limited production, about 12 iirc, had good performance and excellent reliability. Used as a VIP transport and against Blenheims out of Malta.
 
Thanks Red Admiral,

yes the SM-93 was a twin engined dive bomber.
From Italy,
a very intersting competition I think most of the members don't know it;
for twin engined reconnaissance/bomber floatplane :CMASA RS-14,Caproni Ca.124,
Caproni-Reggiane Ca.410,Macchi MC.203,Piaggio P.110,IMAM Ro.55 and CANT Z-510.

sorry red admiral,

the Savoia SM-93 was a single engined dive bomber.
the Caproni Ca.153,Ca.154,Ca.155 and Ca.156 were twin engined fighters,
also Jona 11 was a twin engined fighter project,but do you know the CMASA
BS.12 multi-engined heavy bomber project ?.
 
also from Italy,

CANT Z-514 : a floatplane version of Z-1018 bomber.
CANSA FC.14 : a single engined attack aircraft developed from FC.12.

It looks like it had the same Issota-Franchessi (sp) "Zeta" engine that the proposed Re.2004 was to have had. Anyone have a three-view of this one?
 
Aeronautica Umbra 902

The speed estimate seems a little on the slow side.

The Fiat CR44 - I've seen it mentioned as a dive bomber and as a fighter. Which was it?
 
Red Admiral,

Can you tell us a bit more about the SM.93
3-vieuw you presented us ?

The aircraft as it was built looks different , specilally in
the cockpit area.

Thanks in advance.
 
I think the differences arise because that is just an illustrative view focusing on armament options. Here is a more detailed 3-view.

Re-2004 with Isotta-Fraschini Zeta would look similar to this. Modified from a picture of Re-2005

I also attach the Macchi C.207, a refined version of the C.206 with a DB603 engine, larger wing and 4x20mm cannon in the wing.

Oscar (Hungary) AH-4 :was the fourth helicopter developed by that designer
powered by 110 hp Cleget rotary engine driving coaxial rotors.
D'Ascanio (Italy) helicopter of 1930s :experimental light helicopter powered by
one 95 hp Fiat engine driving coaxial rotors.
Florine (Belgium) :experimental helicopter was built and flown in 1933,no more
detail.

Hi hesham!

I found a photo of D'Ascanio's 1930's helicopter!

It probably says something that I'm answering myself 6-1/2 years later. I don't know the exact provenance of the data used, but ItalianKits does produce a MC.205M conversion kit to make a Merlin-powered derivative of the MC.205V. I have to wonder where they got their data.
