No, not a Peugeot 205. Been there, done that.
Instead have a Macchi C 205, supposedly one of the better fighter aircraft of WW2 but made too late and in too small a number to have much impact.
Like the rest of Italy it changed sides towards the end.
Macchi (now Alenia Aermacchi) are still in the plane business and have recently been working on UAVs. They also built the C 27J for the US military who retired them after only a few years due to insufficient monies. Some planes went straight to storage after being built.

They also built the worlds fastest propeller driven seaplane, Macchi M.C.72.

That’s a sexy plane.
