Ten WW2 Italian Fighters In Diecast

Post by Epap » Tue Oct 04, 2011 12:19 pm

Actually, it's nine, with two schemes for one of these birds. I just received a 1:100th scale Fiat G.50 from the GE Fabbri Italian subscription series, which I repainted into respectable shape. Also included in my collection are a MC-200, MC-202, MC-205, RE-2002 and Fiat G.55 in 1:100th scale and a Fiat CR.42 and RO-37 in 1:72nd plus two Fiat CR.32s in the same scale. For those interested in seeing the whole GE Fabbri lineup in its original form----most of my models have new paint jobs----search for the Gazzetta Store on the Internet and select "Aeronautica Militare" under the "Modellismo" category, then scroll down. As you will see, most of the WW2 models, in particular, sport rather garish paint schemes with bad color choices.

In any event, here's a group picture of my ten models:Image

Cool!

So you re-painted most of these? Nice work.
The Italians had some odd but I imagine effective camouflage schemes.
The 21stC 1:32 Macchi 202 and 205 had some cool ones too.

Ed can post this sort of stuff all day long. :lol:

Sad to say I have no Italian aircraft at all. Not even the 21C Macchi.
