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'...)

Northrop F-5E Tiger II - Walkaround (Swiss Air Force)

Messerschmitt Bf-109 E3 Walkaround

Walkaround of the Messerschmitt Bf-109 E3 (J-355; Werk NummerlFactory Number 2422) exhibited at the Swiss Air Force Museum at Dubendorf Air Base near Zurich, Switzerland. My wife and I visited this museum and although I was more enthusiastic than her I think she appreciated it :) bf-109 antenna isolator Antenna isolator Antenna isolator 20MM FF-K Oe 37 (Flugzeugfliigel-Kanone Oerlikon 1937) Engine radiator flap Exhausts Right landing gear Left landing gear Wheel bay cover Pitot tube Radiator flap indicator

D-3801 Morane Saulnier MS 406 Walkaround

After the Bf-109 , here is a short walkaround of the Adolph Saurer AG license-built D-3801 Morane Saulnier MS-406 also exposed at the Swiss Airforce museum at Dubendorf (Switzerland). One advice, if you go in Switzerland say D-3801, not M.S. 406 or you will have to handle a diplomatic issue - n'est ce pas Gérard :) Below are a few pictures of the cockpit taken through the windows ... And finally, some pictures of the engine, a Hispano Suiza HS-51 12Y
