Dear fellow modellers, greetings from Italy. Here you are, just finished, my Special Hobby Re 2005 Sagittario. The kit is a bit tricky like all Special Hobby ones but a lot better compared to others from the same brand. This airplane has a beatufil design, one of my favourites, and it'a pity that there is only one camouflage applicable and very few decals options... unfortunately to few of them entered in service and for a very short time. The model is basically OOB. I've just added Eduard seatbelts, scrhatched some internal details and cut the control surfaces on the taill and glued in a different position. As ususal I airbrush painted it with Tamiya acrilycs and Tamiya spray finishing. Then just a light weathering with oil wash and pastels. Here you are the pictures, enjoy them and any comment is more than welcome. Cheers Andy

Hi, My third topic for today, also from archive shelvs: Reggiane fighters family. In mid 1930. the Seversky P-35 determined standard for modern fighter for a while. This was a low wing, all metal, close canopy machine with radial air-cooled engine and retractable undercarridge. The most close to this "ideal" was Italian project - Reggiane Re 2000. In Swedish army they were then both in use, and it takes a while to be sure if there is Reggiane or Seversky on the photo Then European companies developed alternative concept- with V-engines (RR, Daimler or Hispano-Suiza), liquid cooled and this bacame next standard. Reggiane adopted their fighter to this conept - and a Reggiane Re 2001 fighter-bomber appeared. Then was next radial engined (missed as yet in my collection - Re-2002) and finaly deeply re-designed, with complete new fuselage V-engined Re-2005. The 1/72 kits of some Reggiane fighters were available form ca. 1972: Re 2000, Re 2001 and Re 2002. All three were in my stash but since I was always an obsessive scratchbuilder, instead of doing Re 2002 I made Re 2005, a scratch conversion out if it. It use basicly the same wing (but differently retratcted u/c (like in Spit or Me109 instead of original going just backward). The fuselage is basicly hand made, I used parts of Frog Fiat G55 for exhausts. This was about 20 years ago. Now there are other kits of Reggiane and aming them there is a nice ( belive) kit of Re 2002 by Sword and perhaps I will do missing part of family... Reggiane Re 2000 in markings of 1./1 Fighter Squadron Hungarian AF, summer 1942 (the squadron emblems are hand painted, other decals from drawer) Reggiane Re 2001 is in markings of 359 Squadra Autonomica, 22 Gruppo Reggia Aeronautica, Sicily 1942: Reggiane Re 2005 is in markings of a fighter unit of Republica Sociale Italiano, Bresco near Milan, March 1944. And the family photo: Comments welcome Regards Jerzy-Wojtek
