1/32 Fiat G.50bis Freccia Luftwaffe&Croatian AF

Special Hobby - 1/32 Fiat G.50bis Luftwaffe and Croatian Af During 1941 the Fiat G-50-II became outperformed by Allied fighter planes. The Regia Aeronautica also needed fighters capable of attacks against ground
targets. Therefore, Fiat company
designed a new version, the Fiat
G.50bis with better performance and
capable of fighter-bomber missions.
The majority of produced machines
flew in Italian colours and some of
them were used by another air forces.
When Italy was partially occupied by
the Wehrmacht in 1943, some of the
captured Italian machines were taken
over by training units of the Luftwaffe. It
resulted in a Fiat G.50bis being used
by training Jagdgeschwader 108 in
Wiener Neustadt, still wearing its original Italian camouflage with new mottles of dark green on the upper surfaces. The plane bore number 352 on its engine cowling and and now you can find it on the decal sheet along with another two machineswhichbelongedtoanotheruserofFiatG.50s,theCroatianAirForce. TheCroatFiatswereusedoverthehome territory against the Partisans. The decal sheet offers two
Croatian machines, the first one adorned with a drawing of the devil on its cowling, the other one is interesting because of its history as its pilot defected to the Partisans. This machine is now being held in a storage of the Aeronautical Museum in Belgrade.
The model consists of four sprues of plastic parts, injected canopy, a fret of Pe parts and detailed resin parts which include also a superb replica of the Fiat A.74 engine.
