Was this type used in spanish civil war?
I have Classic Airframes Regia Aeronautica version of this plane and would really like to paint it in nationalist af colors.

Hi,
following the MM, quantity and delivery time of the CR32 quater.
MM Qty Delivery date
3892-3961 70 january - march 1938
4043-4192 150 march - september 1938
4209-4245 37 september - december 1938
4465-4494 30 november - december 1938
from "ALI DI ITALIA 4" page 37.

It seems that the quater was used only by the RA.

I found other information.

At the end of SCW result more than 60 CR32 ter and 27 CR32 quater, received in the 1938.

License for Spanish production was bought in 1939.

The Hispano Aviacion completed 100 Ha132-L Chirri.

Designed C-1 remain in service until the 1953 as acrobatic trainer

Dear maggiore,
I more than confirm the piece of info posted by Emanuele. According with the studies of Roberto Gentilli,of the 337 CR 32 quater built for Regia Aeronautica, 105 went in Spain from the beginning of 1938 to the spring 1939.
