SH32089 Fiat G.50bis/G.50bis/N ‘Fighter-Bomber & Navy Fighter’ & Tauro decal sheet

[Kagemusha]

"The upcoming Fiat G.50bis kit will feature two aircraft of the Italian Air Force. Both interesting. The first of these will be the G.50bist/N, a prototype equipped with a landing hook. The Hooked G.50bis was to form the armament of the upcoming aircraft carriers Aquila and Sparviero. However, the Italians did not complete them.

 

The second machine is the G.50bis fighter-bomber, equipped with pylons and bombs. Both the landing hook and the pylons and bombs will be printed by direct 3D printing. The new cover will have cat. number SH32089."

 

 

 

There's also a decal sheet from Tauro Model, TM32-554, FIAT-CMASA G.50 REGIA AERONAUTICA.

That sure looks cool. Maybe that can be my next lesser-known WW2 fighter build

SHs Fiat is a nice kit. The cockpit is a bit fiddly and the instructions here not so clear, but otherwise it is a smooth build. Replacement wheels are recommended and available.

My only experience with Tauro decals is negative.  Long ago, I bought their monster of a 1/48 MC.202.  It was unbuildable, but I saved the decals for the Hasegawa Folgore.  When I came to put them on, I found the "Dai Banana" decal, which seemed to be on the sheet (and definitely in the instructions), simply didn't exist!  It was just some ghost image from the printing process, with no actual film.

 

That rather soured me on them.

Two more models on the shopping list, I liked the one with the landing hook as well as the bombshell. I already have one in the fighter resja and the other in the school resja, it might make a nice collection with the Fiat G.50s.

I don't know why but for some reason every time I see this plane I'm thinking it needs a top wing. Still a pretty cool aircraft nonetheless.
