JWM Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 (edited) Hi, One of the most important airplane of twenties and early thirties of XX Century was Fokker CV. It was a true workhorse comparable with Potez XXV, Fairey III family, Breguet XIX or Hawker Hart family... Italy was producing Fokker CVE under name IMAM/Romeo Ro-1. They almost did not survived in Regia Aeronautica till the outbreak of WW2, however took important part in the Second Italo-Abyssinian War (SIAW) which started in 1935. The Czech small short run company made a series of kits of Fokker CVD and CVE (with diffrent engines, undercarriages, decals etc). It is a remake of a wider in some aspects range of resin kits by they sister company Kora. Interesting modification of Ro -1 compared to original CVE was additional third seat behind the gunner position. It was done in almost all colonial used Ro-1s. The model presents machine from SIAW, namely from Squadriglia Somala in 1936, based on that photo: Here she is: The model was build within AFRICA GB, the WIP thread is here (joined with thread on Fiat CR 20 bis): Comments welcome Regards Jerzy-Wojtek P.S. this is mine No 8/2021 Edited May 10, 2021 by JWM 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is LF injected kit, I ordered in shop that box (which includes decals for war in Abyssinia) but I received another box with "continental" Italy interwar decals only. Therefore I did the scheme based only on a photo... 17 minutes ago, John Masters said: First rate! Love those 'Between the Wars' aircraft. Thank you! Indeed, they are nice. I included to my range of interest wars right before WW2 like those in Abyssinia, Spanish in China, to have more chances to do some of those nice biplanes...BTW - those wars were really the preludia to WW2, for example in Abyssinia it went very smoothly into war with Britain in Africa horn (1940-41) Regards J-W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
