s00ntir Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 (edited) This was a really long - and somehow complicated - project. Complicated not because of kit's quality - which is actually really good - but because of my strange ideas to change this kit's "destiny" during the build. I bought it as 1/32 Special Hobby Fiat G.50-II - not "Bis" - and my first idea was to build it in Finnish markings. After the cocpit was done and fuselage halves glued together suddenly I decided to make it Italian. Actually - Italian G.50 Bis because of the camo scheme I chose - 352 Squadriglia 20 Gruppo Autonomo C.T. Martuba , July 1941. So I had to make all the small blisters on engine cowling becase there was no such option in the kit. After several days of deliberating came the simplest possible solution - I just put small drops of Microsol Krystal Clear on carefully degreased surface, let it dry for 24 hours - and voila! Another task was to cut out short tail cone of G.50-II and replace it with longer one for G.50 Bis. Next came the riveting tool.... Special Hobby actually DOES a 1/32 Fiat G.50 "bis" - but buying another one would be "too easy" solution 😉 And this is my first Italian plane ever built. Next are coming. I hope you'll enjoy.

Volksjager Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Great work. As the others have said, the camouflage and weathering are great. The camouflage pattern is very striking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zigomar Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Nice work but it seems you have forgotten the flaps actuators underside. There are four on each side and look like inverted "L", best regards. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
