Homebee Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 (edited) Special Hobby is to release in 2020 a 1/48th Reggiane Re.2005 Sagittario kit - ref. SH48206 Source: http://www.specialhobby.info/2019/09/news-from-special-hobby-102019.html?m=1 Quote (...) We have also decided on unveiling two more projects which are currently in development – these being a pair of Italian WW2 fighter aeroplanes, the Reggiane Re 2000 Falco (link) and Reggiane Re 2005 Sagittario, both in the quarter scale. We expect they can appear on the shop shelves in very early 2020. Both these kits will reach the standards of our latest 1/48 scale models such as the Siebel Si 204, ie with 3D-designed components produced from milled moulding tools. And now, as it seems, these very types are also being worked on by other model companies – but to be honest we are not afraid of this unintended confrontation, being quite sure of the still-increasing levels of quality of our recent models. (...) Sword Models is the other company working on a 1/48th Reggiane Re.2005 Sagittario kit: link V.P.

Phas3e Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 It would be a shame to have a single piece canopy hide that lovely cockpit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the fine detailing - I am just a bit surprised that more fine detail seems not to be provided , like a pitot tube ( I always replaced the kit version with brass , mind ) I also think the guns on the wings would be better replaced with brass , hollow ended examples - I would give the kit 3 or 4 out of 5 , I just thought it would be more ' detailed ' or am I being Harsh ?? I just expected , more , as the 1./48 Fiat G.55 they provided was a lovely kit - and from memory had more detail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. And the CA kit is not that great. Hit or miss with fit I bought a CA kit about a year ago; a Boeing P-12...the vac windscreen was yellowed. Nothing can be done about that. Now am staying away from all CA kits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My copy of Re.2001 has the later slightly blueish vac parts. I have extras if you need them (4 pcs in my kit) Cheers, Vedran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giorgio N Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 With the Re.2005 there isn't really much choice when it comes to the schemes... one or two of the few 362 Squadriglia aircraft (the only real operational 2005s), a generic ANR one and a generic Luftwaffe option. All in standard continental camo scheme. This is unfortunately all the Re.2005 has to offer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
