The livery that I have created represents the A129 of the second series of production,
and it is the 42° built model. Cavalleria dell'Aria, 7° Reggimento "Vega". Based to
Pordenone-Casarsa della Delizia. F.M.P. represent, multinational-protection-force (Albanian 1997).

The A129 MANGUSTA is the most advanced combat helicopter currently in service in Western Europe.
It was designed to guarantee the maximum operational efficiency and flexibility to perform missions
such as anti-tank, escort and armed scout, air support, and air-to-air combat. The A129 MANGUSTA is
fitted with the most up-to-date mission equipment packages. Its unique computerized management system
integrates all the flight functions, fire control, and the electro-optic sensors for day, night and
adverse weather operations making the A129 MANGUSTA a "weapon system" whose component performances and
survivability assure mission effectiveness. The weapon system consists mainly of a HELITOW system which
can carry up to 8 TOW2A missiles. In addition, the A129 can carry four 81 mm rocket launchers, gun pods
or turret gun and air-to-air missiles.(Agusta Elicopters).
