Re: DB 601 for Re. 2001

Hey Folks,

So I went to Engine&Things and the have an Alfa Romeo AR 1000 RC-41-1 V12 for the Macchi 202. I read somewhere the 202 and 2001 had the same engine. If this is the case I'll support local and grab the Engine&Things AR 1000.

Sincerely
Tim

DB 601 for Re. 2001

I hey Folks, I am starting to plan out my Classic Airframes Re.2001 build. I have decided I want to show off the engine and a few other things. I went on scalemates to see what they had listed when I typed in DB 601 1/48. I realize Alfa Romeo made the engine and it was the RA1000. They have a RA1000...

Re: Special Hobby Reggiane Re.2000 Serie I 1/48 dissapointment

Hi Chris,
I have the Special Hobby Serie III in 1/72, it's a decent kit and at least the wings are correct.

It really is, I am to busy with builds that are not a problem, that I haven't got around to writing Special Hobby directley.

Cheers

Special Hobby Reggiane Re.2000 Serie I 1/48 dissapointment

Hello Everyone, I am a Re.2000 and Re.2001 fan. After digging in and starting on Special Hobbies 1/72 Re.2000 serie III, I fell hard. My first blackout purchase occurred when I went to Model Land here in Calgary Alberta and saw Classic Airframes Re.2001 for about 40 bucks. Yes that kit. I call it my...

Articles about painting WW2 Italian Aircraft.

I am having a difficult time getting the right paint effect for my Fly 1/72 Fiat G.50 Bis Freccia. I just need to be pointed towards some good articles about aribrushing the camoflauge. I'm sure there are some on here but I feel like I am just not finding them. My biggest issue is getting the green ...

Re: Fly 1/72 G.50 Freccia

Hello Everyone! Well it made it! I have to be honest. I had a good look. The kit, for you typical Czech short run. It's one of the best I have seen yet. I would feel happy just building it straight from the box. I don't have anything to check dimensions. So I can rivet count it to death. But it very...

Hi Vince!

Thanks! I also sent a message to Airone Hobby, just did a beautiful 3D of folgore landing gear and wheel wells. I'm not in a rush. I hope I find something eventually.

Special Hobby Re 2000 GA wheel replacement

Ciao!

If I have posted this to the wrong area I apologize. I recently purchased the Special Hobby Re 2000 GA in 1/72 scale. I was wondering if there is anyone who makes a 1/72 wheel for this plane? I'm not happy with the ones in the kit.
