Funny that you mentioned that. I was watching a special on TV a few days (mostly on the Pacific war) and they mentioned it. I had never heard it before (sorry for the ignorance), and was quite surprised that the RA had invented the technique.I also think the RA used the planes in the best way, having invented the skip bombing technique way before it was seen in the Pacific

Don't worry about not knowing the RA "invented" skip-bombing; I knew what it was but had no clue that the Italians invented the technique!
And yes, Stukas (like almost any plane) look better in Italian markings. Nice work Fredi!
