François Escudé Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 Hi Guys !! I'm a kind of " new guy in town", as it is my first post on this very nice Forum ! I'd like to share with you my build of this nice ( for me ) fighter of regia aeronautica . It was a pleasant build even if it's a short run one. I used MRP paints as they offer a large range of Italian colors, and are really easy to spray! Hope you will like it !! 39 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire31 Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 Welcome! And what an excellent introduction you've made with this delicious Reggiane! I had to double check that the scale was really 1:72nd. 😉 Kind regards, Joachim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

François Escudé Posted April 8, 2022 Author Share Posted April 8, 2022 Hi Horatio , HI Sky Keg , Again , thank you for your comments !! Horatio, for the pictures, in fact I sold all my "old" cameras and only take pictures with my smartphone, so I took them at a certain distance . thus when I resize my pictures then they look bigger ... than I would like ??😆; Hope this is not a pb for the forum as I don't want to appear " bigger and fatter " than I am 😅 Sky Keg, Thanks, even if I not a "speedy" builder I promise , I'll will do my best to never be a stranger !!😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jure Miljevic Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 Hello, Francois Very convincing looking Reggane. I especially like the rivets, although engraving them must have been a tedious job. Cheers Jure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zigomar Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Nice built of the 2000. If I may, the underside flaps should be more visible, at least the shape, as they are one of Reggiane trademark and were the same from the 2000 to the 2005. Here is a pic to illustrate what I mean. best regards. 1CF6F06D-4AA9-4792-A69E-D9B2C3C70748_1_201_a by jean Barby, sur Flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
