IanC Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 The highlight for me: https://uk.airfix.com/products/fiat-g50-a01046v So glad to see it again. And only £6.99 😀 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giorgio N Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Was hoping for a new kit when I read the title of the thread but then saw it's the old one, a mix of variants with shapes all over the place, anemic cowling and an engine with the wrong number of cylinders... at least it's cheap... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanC Posted January 10, 2022 Author Share Posted January 10, 2022 Yes, the old one. And one of the first kits I built all by myself, half a century ago. So I'm looking forward to revisiting it, wrong number of cylinders or not.. 😉 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giorgio N Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Well, I can understand the nostalgia factor.... but this isn't even a hard kit to find, there's plenty around, I've been offered '80s boxes for as little as £ 3... 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fightersweep Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Another potential nostalgia build for me. I've already got three G.50s, but one is in a blister pack and the other two in very minty 70s boxes so they sit firmly in the collection. Not the first kit I built by far, but one for some reason that captured my imagination. I always liked the box art for this one too. So, I'm pleased to see this Vintage Classics re-release. At the very least, it means a good set of decals and the chance to do a better job than I did in 1982. Well. Maybe. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've long wanted a blister pack one in good condition but they're rare on Ebay and when one's turned up, the price has always been a bit too steep. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's wrong with the cylinders? 12? 16? 10? IIRC (I built it 50 years ago) there was a decent 14-cylinder radial, only the diameter was way too small.
