Fiat G.50bis – Historical Context

The Fiat G.50bis is the upgraded version of the first modern Italian fighter with an enclosed cockpit, used extensively during World War II. These aircraft participated in Mediterranean and North African campaigns, especially during the battles for Malta and the defense of Italian convoys. The G.50bis/N version was created as a carrier-based fighter, intended to operate from the Italian aircraft carrier “Aquila” (though never used in combat from the ship due to its incomplete status). The model thus offers the option to build both variants of this extremely interesting aircraft.
