1/72 Legato Reggiane RE 2000 Serie 1/J-20

Easy small kit mainly plastic moulded with PE, Resin engine and cowl and 2 Vac Formed Canopies.

Firstly you will see that I don’t like vac formed canopies at all as you will see from my photo’s. Very difficult to trim round even with my sharpest, smallest curved scissors. Otherwise a nice kit to build.

The prop/nosecone was difficult to get to fit and it’s too far from the engine nacelle.

Very cool build Pat! I’ve never heard of this manufacturer.

Nicely done, Pat. - Very good job on the camo, I agree with you on the Vac form canopies, I can’t do well with them even at gunpoint.

That nose high attitude would have made takeoff and landing difficult. Pilot would need a periscope. (:>)

Thanks guys. Yes they were carrier based as well, so I’m told as some of the PE with the kit is for that purpose!
