Here are few pictures of my new fast built - Fiat G.50 in 1/48 scale from Czech producer Special Hobby. All panel lines are totally rescribbed and I must upgraded lower part of engine cowling and cover of engine filter... My work was about 30 hours long.

I have choosen aeroplane from Finland.









Upgraded of this area was really difficult...

I'm also slowly fighting with that kit (double build together with PCM kit).
I found there is big mistake with canon bulges - they are much to the front, are You doing something with it? Is there anything else You're going to improve? The SH engine is also quite inacurate.
Did You chose specific finish plane?

Hi Kubrt!

Beautiful work!
Truly a masterful way of modeling!

Only a few questions..

Why did you do the interior in green?
The Fiat G.50 was the interior in a light gray primer..

About the shape of the seat as you solved?



Thank you and keep!

To Daniele: Yes, I have color of interior in green interior color, it is my mistake Instructions from the model recommended by the interior color green paint... Seat may be in steel, but color of seat in my kit is green too . Fortunately, the cockpit is almost visible

This looks great Kubrt!

Can you be more specific as far as colors?
I'm starting to use Lifecolor and any advice will be very appreciated!
What do you need Thickener for?

I have used only "aproximate" shades of sand, green and brown, but doesn´t matter, because it is only base for thinned black wash...

Look at my camouflage on Fiat

I have used for thinning mixture of original Lifecolor thinner with adding of 20% thickener - this is thinner for thinnig primer and colors!

Original Lifecolor Primer is indispensable for airbrushing Lifecolor paints!

1. step: base coat with Lifecolor Primer thinned with mixture original Lifecolor thinner with 20% of Thickener

2. step: airbrushing of camouflage colors thinned with mixture of original Lifecolor thinner with 20% of Thickener

It's superb Kubrt!

I have reconsidered my choice of camouflage on Fiat G.50
