After the Second World War, countries that regained their independence usually rebuilt their armed forces, using national formations that had served under other flags, thus the Yugoslav Air Force was born, equipped with Soviet material; but the team was few, a squad at most; Therefore, it was complemented with the material that was found abandoned by the combatants within their territory, and thus a diverse unit was formed, with P-51, P-38, Me-109, Stuka, and an undetermined amount of G .50 ex-Croats.
Repaired and repainted, this was the decoration used by one of them, a curious fact, recently, a G.50 was discovered still with the original Croatian paint, why didn't the Yugoslavs paint all their G.50?, the only thing What occurs to me is that either they forgot that device, lost in some small airfield, or they thought that in 1946 it was not worth repairing a Freccia.
Airfix Lodela model, painting from the USSR Second World War package, from El Viejo Marino, all decoration by brush.
