Hi everybody,
I just received this one:

Well, not exactly that, but what's needed to build her in 1:32 scale

After the end of WW2, Fiat Aviation continued to produce for some time the G.55 fighter, to be used by the new Italian aviation and to be exported to several foreign countries (Egypt, Argentina etc)
But when there were no more DB605 engines available, they looked for a new engine and found that the R.R. Merlin T 24-2, upgraded to standard 500, was the perfect solution because required minor changes to the airframe.
So was born the above aircraft , know as Fiat G.59, probably one of the best piston planes ever produced.

Italian modeller and aviation historian Maurizio Di Terlizzi issued very recently this kit:

I ordered it and I ordered as well the PCM kit I will need to use for the conversion:

Both arrived, so in some time I will start a new WIP on the Fiat G.59.

If you are interested in the above conversion kit, just pm me and I will put you in contact with Maurizio. (Don't worry, there are no commissions for myself!)

Cheers
Alberto

Interesting conversion Alberto. I look forward to seeing it, and always thought this aircraft looked 'right'.

I didn't have anything in the stash for the Modern GB so I had to. That's my story and I'm sticking to it

Picked this one up today....really nice kit and decals, No. 2 Squadron, No. 56 Squadron and No. 92 Squadron AND it comes armed with Sparrows and Skyflash plus a SUU 23/A gun pod!!

Also won this on ebay, which with shipping included, is cheaper than the Revell FGR Mk. 2 Phantom!

Nice haul Jan!

Great stuff old chap. Am I right in thinking that the Revell boxing of the Hasegawa Phantom lacks the white metal wheels, with the plastic F4J type only? Might have to replace my Phantom, as the joints are looking a bit sad after years of sitting in dust - darn !

 

[Lucky13]

Cheers fellas!

Quite right old boy, ex-Hasegawa and no metal anywhere in the box.... 8)

[Wayne Little]

[Lucky13]

Suprised that I won the '109!
That's me got the Lightnings and Phantoms for the No. 74 and No. 111 Squadrons, happy days!
