Fiat G.55 „Centauro” 1:48 Spacjal Hobby

[Kriss]

While doing some organizing in my modeling stash, I came across a model of a Fiat G.55 "Centauro" sottoserie 0 in 1:48 a published by Special Hobby. The construction of it began a good few years ago. But during some work in the workshop I lost some of the finished parts and couldn't find them, and the model flew to the shelf waiting for me to find the parts. Finally, I managed to complete all the parts and you can move with the end of its construction. In such a state he was waiting for the end of work on him.

 

And here's a set of parts that I lost somewhere for several years.

Another lovely build and interesting paint scheme. The Italians certainly knew how to design graceful looking airframes

Lately, my favorite aircraft and their camouflages.

Searching the resources of his laptop this I managed to find some pics of the construction, here the interior of the cabin.

And the revised underside of the fuselage, the second photo from the old forum where I used to be.

So glad you 'found the missing parts' and the G55 is underway again. Looking simply fantasic.

Having a moment of time I'll throw in a few more photos of painting the camouflage. And the "Centauro" is put together.

I finally managed to finish it after several years of lying around. Yesterday I fitted all the parts and this is how it looks ready on the workshop, now it remains for me to do a photo shoot and upload it to the gallery. Markings painted with Montex-mask (MM 48280), dedicated to this kit.

After many years I finally managed to find all the parts and complete the model Fiat G.55 "Centauro" Sottoserie 0, MM 91064 "11", 1 Squadriglia "Gigi Tre Osei", 2 gruppo ANR, may 1944 in 1:48 scale published by Special Hobby, the machine is in experimental camouflage. Despite these several years of lying the model I do not remember that there were any problems with it in construction, the fit of parts very good. The only addition is montex-mask masks. Enjoy your viewing.
