Hello everyone.
I'd like to build an ANR G.55, but I'm not sure which of the scale hobby 1/48 kits to use.
Should I be using the G.55A kit with sky models decals to make the correct version, or should it be the Sottoserie 0 kit?
I'm looking to make one that would have been camouflaged similar to the German aircraft in mid to late 1944.
Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

1/48 Scale Hobby G.55 questions
ANR flew both versions, Sottoserie 0 & Sottoserie 1.
It is more secure is to use Sottoserie 1 simply because of decal availability. Be aware that tail can be early or late on them. Don’t hold your breath with Sky - they made many mistakes.
G 55A flew for the first time in 1947, hence is a post war airplane. Look carefully WHAT are the visible differences with G 55 Sottoserie 1, perhaps kit will do.

Wait, watch, listen, then pounce!

I am building the 1/48 Special Hobby kit (the box for Sottoserie 0), but the box includes the parts for both versions.
There are 2 pairs of fuselages for the different styles of the rudder and 2 engine undercowlings (with or without fairings for the 12,7 mgs).
For the decals accuracy, i agree with Lazycat: check what sample you want to build.
