Suggested Painting Schemes:
Fiat G.91R aircraft were used in various camouflage schemes, depending on the operator and period of service. The most common include:
NATO Camouflage Schemes: typically two- or three-tone schemes including shades of green (e.g., FS34079 Olive Drab / NATO Green) and grey (e.g., FS36081 Dark Grey) on the upper surfaces, with light grey (e.g., FS36375 Light Ghost Grey) or silver undersides.
