Fiat G.50 Finnish Version, 1/48 - 48086
LIMITED EDITION
The Fiat G.50 is a Classic WWII Fighter. The plane was first designed in 1937 and entered
service with the Regia Aeronautica in 1939 over the skies of Spain. It was the first all metal
monoplane fighter to enter service with the Regia Aeronautica. Although not as quick or maneuverable
as the Mc.200, its performance was nonetheless comparable to that of the Hawker Hurricane. In service
with the Finnish Air Force the Fiat G.50 achieved legendary status, many Finnish aces used the type
at one time or another and Oiva 'Oippa' Tuominen scored the majority of his 44 kills with the G.50.
This kit is a limited-run airframe with finely engraved panel lines, detailed cockpit, optional rudder/vertical
stabilizers, optional ski or wheeled undercarriage, optional spinners, and injection-molded windscreen.
Also includes resin parts (multi-part radial engine, cowling and additional details) photo-etch parts
(ignition harness, instrument panel, seatbelts and other fine bits) plus film instruments. NOTE:
this kit also comes with fully glazed canopy to build early Fiat G.50 Serie I and II aircraft.
Can build any Fiat G.50 with this kit. One of the best kits on offer by Special Hobby.
Decals and color painting reference for nine (9) Ilmavoimat schemes:
FA-25, 2/LeLv 26 (x2); FA-1, 2/LLv 26 (x4); FA-33, LLv 26 (x3).

Fiat G.55A, Post-War Version 1/48 - 48087
LIMITED EDITION
The G.55's increasing popularity amongst modelers and aviation enthusiast alike is a direct result
of its increased coverage and exposure by modelers and aviation historians. Often forgotten in the
past, the G.55 was a first-rate singe seat fighter with performance comparable to the best Allied
fighters of the time. In combat over Europe, the G.55 maintained its own against overwhelming odds.
Series production was also considered by the Germans who soon discovered the G.55 was the only
Axis fighter available that could accept the new powerful DB.603 (1,800 hp) engine (a design
limitation of the Bf.109). However, like so many excellent Italian WWII war programs the G.55
was built in too few numbers. The Fiat G.55 established itself as a premier fighter and was
built in several variants and continued to be built after the war with purchase orders from
Argentina, Syria and Egypt.
This is the post-war version of this excellent kit, referred to as the Fiat G.55A. The Fiat G.55A was armed
with 4 x 12 mm machine guns. The Argentinean’s purchased 10 overhauled G.55s and 35 new aircraft
plus 15 two-seaters and were equipped with VHF radios. The planes continued service until the
mid-1950s. The Syrians purchased 12 single-seaters and 1 two seater. Increasing tensions with Israel,
the Egyptians purchased 39 new planes and two two-seaters.
Kit has recessed panel lines, highly detailed cockpit, resin parts (gunsight, wing gun barrels,
and optional upper cowling without gun troughs), photo-etch parts (instrument panel, seatbelts,
radiator faces, cockpit enhancements and additional details), film instruments, and injection-molded
canopy. Decals and painting guide for 3 aircraft: 5th Squadron, Royal Egyptian Air Force,
December 1948; MM91167/55, Scuola Caccia, Aeronautica Militare Italiana, 1947 and C-26,
Regimiento No 2 de Casa, Fuerza Aérea Argentina, 1949.
Undoubtedly the best fighter available in large quantity to the Regia Aeronautica at beginning of the war,
the Macchi C.200 was a robust, extremely maneuverable and a reasonably fast monoplane.
Designed by ing. Mario Castoldi, the winner of various Schneider Trophy contests,
the C.200 was liked by its pilots and many Regia Aeronautica pilots would earn ace status
flying this plane. The MC.200 would eventually be developed into the potent MC.202.
This kit comes with finely engraved recessed panel lines and beautifully furnished PE sets and resin parts.
Comes with a detailed cockpit interior. Decals for Regia Aeronautica Fighters.
Flown for the first time in February 1935 by Arturo Ferrarin,
the FN.305 was a two seat light training monoplane and was an outstanding aircraft
on all counts, establishing many speed and distance records. The Nardi FN.305 also
secured many foreign orders and was used extensively by the Luftwaffe and the Royal
Hungarian Airforce.
Includes a detailed exterior w/ engraved panel lines.
Resin & photo-etch detail parts. Vacuform canopies. Markings for 2 aircraft: Luftwaffe
and the Royal Hungarian Airforce.
This advanced four engined strategic bomber was the only one of its type placed into
production by the Axis powers in WWII. Produced in sufficient numbers, this bomber
could have tilted the balance of air power in the Mediterranean.
Heavily armed and with a good operational range, the P.108 would strike deep into the
Mediterranean hitting Girbraltar and Algeria.
This kit, P.108B Serie I
(Flying Machines P.108B Serie I),
comes with 85 medium grey injection moulded parts on four frames,13 injection moulded clear parts on one frame, 33 resin parts and decals for
two aircraft plus four pages with parts plan, history, buildinstructions and painting/decal diagrams.
Designed and built in 1939, the Piaggio P.108 was one of the most advanced heavy
bombers of WWII featuring remote controlled gun turrets, a heavy bomb load,
and a good operational range striking deep into the Mediterranean; only too few aircraft were
constructed due to a chronic shortage of raw materials.
The P.108A was a variant of the original strategic bomber and was equipped with
a 102mm canon for anti-shipping work. The gun was capable of firing 20 rounds per minute
and was feed by an automatic loader.
This kit comes with finely engraved recessed panel lines and beautifully
furnished PE sets and resin parts. Decals for one Luftwaffe P.108A.

Although used in relatively small numbers by the Regia Aeronautica the Re.2000 was
quite likely the best of the R-Programme fighters and even out flying the Bf.109E. The Re.2000 was exported
in fairly large numbers to Sweden and Hungary. Yugoslavia, Spain, Switzerland and Finland all began
negotiations to acquire the plane but these orders were automatically canceled when Italy went to war.
Hungary also built a number of Re.2000s under license in which the Piaggio radial engine was substituted
with the Manfred Weiss WM K-14 (Gnome-Rhône 14K Mistral Major radial) and hence the change in name to Mavag Heja.
This kit comes with finely engraved recessed panel lines and PE sets and resin parts.

Reggiane Re 2000 Serie I - 1/48 - SH48204
Just before the outbreak of WW2, the Reggiane Re 2000 took part in the competition for the standard fighter which was to serve with the
Italian air force. Even though the type offered quite high performance, it eventually did not win, so the most of the production was offered
for export. The Regia Aeronautica, however, deceided to give the type a try and deployed it mainly in the dangerous operations against Malta.
The model kit contains four styrene sprues and one with clear parts. The wing sprue has its origins in the Classic Airframes kit while all the other
components are brand new, the small ones being produced from metal moulds.

IMAM (Romeo) Ro.37bis - 1/48 - SH48185
In the early 1930s, the Italian Regia Aeronautica operated IMAM Ro.1 (licence-built Fokker C.V) reconnaissance and observation biplanes. The military were quite happy with the type, however when IMAM offered a new biplane type designed by Giovanni Galasso, the decision was taken to acquire this new aircraft. Following the prototype’s successful test flights, the production was commenced in 1934. The Ro.37 was powered by an in-line Fiat A.30 engine. The Italian military also showed interest for a version fitted with a Piaggio P.IX radial engine. This version was known as the Ro.37bis and was produced along the inline-engined type. The Ro.37 and 37bis became the main observation and reconnaissance types of the Regia Aeronautica and were kept in service until Italy surrendered on 25 August 1943. By this time, a total of 621 machines of both versions had been produced, 325 of which were the bis version. The very first time the type saw combat action was during the Italian attack on Abyssinia (Ethiopia). They also fought in the Spanish Civil War, operated both by the Aviazione Legionaria and by the Aviación Nacional.
Following the outbreak of the Second World War, the type saw service everywhere the Regia Aeronautica were fighting, except for the Eastern Front and across the English Channel. By the time Italy became involved in the war, the Regia Aeronautica had had 483 of both versions, 200 of which were the bis, but only about a hundred of machines were in fact in air worthy conditions. They saw service over the Balkans, Northern Africa and mainland Italy too.
As the type possessed rather satisfactory performance and also because of the fact that two different powerplants were possible for the airframe to be fitted with, both the types were successfully offered to users abroad. In Europe, the type was flown with the Royal Hungarian Air Force as well as in Austria and in Spain by the Nationalists. The bis version were seen also outside Europe, flying with the military of Afghanistan, Paraguay and Ecuador.
The SH Ro.37bis has been laid out to as many as six sprues of grey styrene and one of clear canopy parts. The styrene items are accompanied by a whole bunch of resin and photo-etched details. The decal sheet offers markings for four eye-catching schemes which portrays machines in service almost throughout the world. A Grupo 4-G-12 option of the Nationalist forces is adorned with a titling to remind a killed comrade-in-arms. One of the Italian machines offered in the kit is an aircraft flying from bases in Albania in 1940 during the Italian attack on Grece, the other Italian machine displays camouflage and markings of the Aviazione Cobelligerante Italiana (Italian Co-Belligerent Air Force), this being one of the last Ro.37s to see active duty. It wore inscription Cocco Bello on the cowling panel. The final option of the Ro.37bis kit

IMAM (Romeo) Ro.37 A30 engine - 1/48 - SH48183
In the early 1930s, the Italian Regia Aeronautica operated IMAM Ro.1 (licence-built Fokker C.V) reconnaissance and observation biplanes.

They saw service over the Balkans, Northern Africa and mainland Italy too.
Because of its sufficient performance and the option to carry various power plants, the type was exported successfully. In Europe, it saw service with the military of Hungary, Austria and Nationalist Spain.
The SH Ro.37 "A30 engine" comes on as many as six trees of grey styrene and one with clear parts. The styrene parts are accompanied by nicely detailed resin parts and a photo-etched fret. The decal sheet offers four interesting camouflage options covering service of the in-line engined version in Italy and abroad. Camo option A portrays an Italian machine in pre-war colour scheme which is also adorned with Venice flag with the Lion of St.Mark. The Austrian option, camo B, had the same camouflage scheme. Camouflage scheme C brings a machine which saw service on Greek front, being operated by the Regia Aeronautica and wearing a scheme of sand with green mottles. The final option, scheme D, is also an Italian machine, this one wearing creme overall and a unit’s badge on the fuselage sides as being used during Italian attack on Abyssinia. This machine of an early series was produced by OFM – Aeroplani Romeo and is interesting by having two oil coolers on either side of the nose and a wooden propeller, while standard production machines had only one cooler and a metal prop. In our model, both the coolers and the wooden propeller have been 3D-designed and exquisitely cast from resin.
