Repaint Of A Fiat CR.32 In Spanish Nationalist Colors

Post by Epap » Sun Sep 11, 2011 2:19 pm

The new publisher subscription series of Italian warbirds, by GE Fabbri ( made by LeoModels ) includes several diecast renditions in the 1:72nd scale. These mass produced replicas are surprisingly well detailed but suffer from poor paint jobs and color choices. Here is a picture of the Fiat RC.32 fighter in its original form. It's missing the striping on the horizontal stabilizers and the colors---the green in particular---are way off:Image
