It looks somewhat distorted and if the pilot in his cockpit is at least nearly
to scale, it may have been difficult to squeeze 24 passengers into it.
I've tried to use the inclination of the main gear to determine the length of
the tail, but that would lead to a very long plane, indeed.
But an interesting project nevertheless.

Hi! Caproni Ca.120.
http://www.airwar.ru/enc/bww1/ca120.html
"In the year 1933 the company Aeronautica Caproni bomber was built Ca. 120. He was a high-wing design, mixed double equipped with three dvenadcaticilindrovymi V-shaped Isotta Fraschini engines of 750 PS power XIRC.DARKWAREZ on the first prototype armament installation, but not planned-three pillboxes with 7.7 mm machine guns on the top and on the sides of the fuselage. Interest among military aircraft not called, so remained at the level of the prototype."
