Zigomar Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Hello fellows. This is the Sword Reggiane 2005 considered by manies, like me, to be the most beautiful aircraft to emerge from WWII. The Sword model is very good in shape and dimensions and the level of detail is surprisingly good. My crtitiscism will go on the transparencies and on the lack of white stencils on the decal sheet. I have used masks whenever it was possible to depict one of the operational kite of the 362a Squadriglia 22° Gruppo, defending Napoli in mid 43. Only 30 machines were completed and all but a few went to serve under the "Spauracchio" the scarecrow, design by Beppe Biron. best regards.

Tbolt Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Great work. What's the problem with the transparencies, are they not clear or is it a fit problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zigomar Posted April 6, 2021 Author Share Posted April 6, 2021 Both. Not clear enough and the fit is not top. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have done both, the Special Hobby was then Flying Machine, each model has some good points and some less good ones. The Sword kit is spot on in dimensions and the level of detail is pretty good, Flying Machine is more complicated but the transparencies are much better, so.... why not build both? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kriss Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 Beautiful work, very nice model came out. I have mine already at home but with a small difference mine is from Special Hobby. I had a chance to see both SH and Sword models and I was more convinced visually by SH and how it lies in plans I will see how I will build it soon.
