Fiat G50B - Special Hobby 1/32

 Hi, After my build of the Macchi 205 - the most gorgeous aircraft of WW2 in my opinion - here I am on the other side of the spectrum with probably the ugliest Italian aircraft: the Fiat G50 in its two-seater version. The SH kit is a joy to build despite its short-run nature. However, the position of the front seat needs to be moved otherwise the fuselage halves cannot be joined together. BTW , the cockpit is supposed to be painted in light gray, not green.... Riveting was done with the help of Rosie. Camo was a joy to paint, for which I used the MRP range. Paint chipping was done with hairspray (much cheaper than those 'chipping fluids'...)
