Armando Jorge Soares describes how he built his wonderfully detailed 1/72 scale Fiat G50, based on the old Airfix kit.

Very nice model, Armando.
Nice to see such a good job, on one of these older Airfix kits.

Greetings, Armando,

A great article on a great job of creating a diamond from a lump of coal! I am very pleased that this is a part of my campaign Fighters Under the Midnight Sun!

I knew there was a reason I seem to keep snapping up old Airfix and Heller kits.....results like this! Those old kits, while certainly not the "shake the box and out pops a contest winner" material, still have their value (IMHO). They are also the ultimate excuse to excercise my obssessive-compulsive disorders in hobby form...they take alot of scratch work to build!!!! Good job.

[i will now go kick my own [auto-censored] for having thrown away that very same Eduard etch set for the Airfix G.50]
