Here are some pics
of my Revell 1:72 Fiat G-91 R/3. I built this kit o.o.B. with some
scratchbuilding in the cockpit/ ejection-seat and canopy. I also added an old
Airfix pilot-figure as a special touch and cut out the rudder. I used the
kit decals which are nice but the printing of mine wasn't good. This lead to
some overpainting. Especially the sharkmouth had to be corrected by handpainting
(mainly in the intake).

The aircraft was
assigned to Luftwaffe JaboG 41 (Fighter-Bomber-Wing 41) and took part in an
exercise called "Bulls Eye" for which it was painted with the
sharkmouth.
Everything else about the
build-up and kit-quality was already said by Christopher Hughes in his article
here on ARC.
The aircraft was painted with a
brush and Xtracolor-paints using a sponge to get the smooth division-line
between the upper-camouflage-colors (I built this model before I got my
airbrush).
