About product

Fiat G.50/50bis Italian Arrow 1:144 — a Mark I plastic kit

An injection-molded plastic kit of the Italian Fiat G.50 fighter and its improved G.50bis guise in 1:144 scale from Mark I. The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. The particular contents of the package, the number of parts and the number of decal schemes are not stated here; check the figures for the variants against the instructions in the package.

The real subject

The Fiat G.50 Freccia was the first Italian all-metal monoplane with retractable landing gear, powered by an air-cooled radial engine. The G.50bis guise brought reworking of the rear fuselage and the cockpit and an increased fuel load, which were meant to improve range and the pilot's view. The aircraft was agile and rugged, but it lagged behind contemporary fighters in both performance and armament; it was deployed with the Regia Aeronautica and with foreign users.

Building and painting tips

First work out from the instructions which parts belong to which version — the fuselage and cockpit sections differ between the G.50 and the G.50bis, and a mix-up is hard to put right later. Separate the parts with a sharp knife, sand the seams with fine paper and glue with thin cement for plastic. A base coat unifies the surface and reveals the fine lines that would otherwise disappear under the paint. Italian camouflage tends to be mottled — at a small scale a soft transition sprayed with an airbrush at very low pressure looks better than a hard mask. Apply the decals over a gloss clear coat and seal them with a matte one.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of 1:144 aircraft with limited room in a display case
  • Anyone interested in the Regia Aeronautica of the Second World War
  • Modelers who want both guises of the Freccia in a collection
  • Builders used to working with small parts

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

The bis guise brought reworking of the rear fuselage and the cockpit and an increased fuel load, for the sake of range and the pilot's view.

Thin cement for plastic, a sharp knife, fine abrasive paper, tweezers and modeling paints. None of that is included in the package.
