Fiat G55 Centauro

November 1, 2025 · in Aviation · · 12 · 231

The Pacific Coast Models 1/32nd Centauro finally finished in between a house move and ongoing renovations.
The mixed media kit is definitely not shake and bake, but has been a throughly enjoyable build of a seriously gorgeous aircraft.

  1. Great work, David @dave109. Very beautiful scheme with that camouflage and nice weathering!

  2. Very nicely done, the camo is so striking and the weathering is spot on.

  3. Fantastic result from the nice but not shake and bake kit, David!

  4. Been quite awhile since anyone posted a build by the late and sometimes great Pacific Coast Models. You really succeeded jumping over the kit hurdles resulting in an awesomely beautiful plane, David <@davecope109. Any profile shots?

  5. G’day Dave (@davecope109),
    This is one of those aircraft that I’d run out and get if it was 1/48.
    This is a great build.
    I’ll second you posting a few more pics.
    Liked!

  6. Beautiful build, David @davecope109
    Indeed a great scheme and perfectly applied.
    Not easy to model in between a house move and renovations.

  7. Nice job, especially the paintwork.

  8. Wow! Doesn’t get better..

  9. I'm not Italian, but your post has me saying, 'bellissimo'.
    Very nice camo finish on a great looking aircraft. I really like the lines of the G55 and the MC.202
    Amazing work, David - and yes, more photos please.

  10. I've posted a few more WIP photos.

  11. I love that camo scheme, and the build is a beauty. Well done!
