The "Gina" FIAT G.91R (Romeo) is a compact Italian Attacker designed by Engineer Gabrielli, drawing inspiration from the American F-86 Sabre. Weighing less and boasting a smaller frame compared to its counterpart, this tactical fighter-bomber was engineered for land troop support. In 1953, it emerged victorious in a NATO contest for a lightweight tactical fighter, earning use by both Italian AMI and German Luftwaffe forces. Two downloadable models are available: the Italian G.91-R1, armed with four Browning .50 caliber machine guns and two hardpoints; and the German G.91-R3, equipped with two 30mm Defa cannons and four hardpoints. A R4 version was specifically tailored for Germany, featuring four Browning machine guns and four hardpoints. This model marked the first sale to Portugal in 1966, while from 1976 onwards, Luftwaffe sold its remaining R3 models to the PAF (Pakistan Air Force). G.91 aircraft operated by Força Aérea Portuguesa saw combat during colonial wars in Mozambique and Angola from 1966 to 1973. These models are scaled at 1:100, allowing for effortless scaling down to 1:300 using FDM printing technology. Printing the model horizontally proved successful; however, removing post-processing supports beneath wings and tail requires some effort but is achievable.
