Reggiane 2002 - 1/72 Sword kit - complete

Recently wrapped up for the Ground Attack Group Build

Posted Image

1/72 Sword kit built oob. Great little kit, highly reccomended. (build pics are in the GB thread, starting on P11) The only additions were harnesses from tape & bent wire, and a bomb pulled out of the spares box. Camo colours were mixed Tamiya acrylics. Darker areas are intentional, overpainted Regia Aeronautica markings were replaced with Co-Beligerant markings.

Vance,

I just finished a Re2000 by Italeri in Swedish markings, the post is here somewhere. your 2 look great!

John

Thanks John! Your Re.2000 - is that the Special Hobby kit? I have that one in the stash as well actually! :wink: I’ll take a look for yours, nice to see these types built up.

Nice work on that kit !

I especially like the differing shades of green in areas where old insignia would have been blotted out.

Comparison photos of the two, similar aircraft reminds me that modern aviation still also produces similar aircraft from different design bureaus,[^o)]

Nope, it’s a Italeri

John

Nice builds there!

Mike

Thanks Mike - had a good tie with both of them! :slight_smile:

Mais Oui !!

The Canadian Air Force Museum has some very good looking ties…[whstl]

Wow, that’s a sweet little bird isn’t it. Very nicely done. I can’t see those little kits to do them. You guys that do this kinda work must have nerves of steel and eagle eyes. [Y]

lol, a RBF tag/tie, I’d wear that… but nobody I know would understand.

Thanks Brandon - I’ve been building 1/72 for the most part for a LONG time now. It just feels right I guess?

And very big Optivisor’s [8-|]

John

Vance, its great to see you back here, making some.interesting stuff as usual!

Very well done, Vance. It’s amazing how much those two look alike.
