Kora – KPK72162 – FIAT G.50 FRECCIA I. SERIE Finnish Service

Description:

FIAT G.50 FRECCIA I. SERIE
Finnish Service

Unassembled plastic model kit in 1/72 scale of an Italian WWII fighter Fiat G.50 Freccia, the first Italian single seat all-metal monoplane.

Finland acquired 35 aircraft of the type but only 33 were delivered and two lost in transit due damage. The Finnish G.50 were at the end the longest and most successful aircraft in service during both wars against the Soviet Union. Finland received both Series I and II, all except seven were using the Series II canopy type not of the taste of Finish pilots and test were done with an enclosed canopy, but these trials were not into production. Other minor improvements were tried and used in the Finnish G.50.

The kit is based on the FLY kit for the same topic updated with resin parts and new decal sheet with four Finnish markings.
