I hope that they will also do the early version with enclosed cockpit.

 

I have the AML but it's in the drawer of doom, it didn't want to fit together very well :confused: .

 

I hope the Fly one goes together ok. Looking forward to it :)

I'm looking forward to this, one of my favourite early WWII fighters. I built the AML kit a few years ago and it was a pig to get together, lots of nice detail but the fit of the main parts was dire. Turned out alright in the end but definitely not easy.

Shortly after this rather blurry pic was taken she had an unfortunate encounter with the cat. The cat was fine, the plane not so fine! Now all my models live in a display case, lesson learned.

Hi,

I am sorry about this. I did know that cats can be dangerous to models.  In fact once one of my cat devastated a propeller of Beaufighter on my desk, but this was the only lost so far... Anyway - the Fly model is most welcome!

I am waiting for a new g 50 kit ! airfix one is desperate, I hope it will be better than AML that isn't bad , but on the heavy side, there was a good resin kit from Misterkit a online shop that made some good kits of italian a/c but no cheap at all..I contacted Fly for a new CA 133 similar to Ca 111 they produce but it isn't in their plans.

Very interesting info. I am just studying possibility of scratch conversion of Cs 133 from Fly Ca 101 (not Ca 111 - that one is made only by Broplan in vacu technology) and it looks feasible. However I had doubts about this efforts thinking on "risk" of appearance of Fly Ca 133 in some close future. Your info encourages me to start :) . Perhaps in Autumn...

Cheers

AML (https://eshop.aml.cz/) is to rebox the Fly kit as - ref. - Fiat G.50bis AS Freccia 

Same box art as the old AML kit  - ref. 72031 (https://www.scalemates.com/kits/aml-72031-g50-bis--178882) - but this time with the Fly plastic parts

It is also said (in Polish, in last link from above) that it is limited to 300 items series. Looks that aparently AML had already on stock printed 300 decals and boxes, but plastic moulds for their own Fiat went out... ;)
