Username: Vic Balshaw
First name: Vic
Category: Advanced
Manufacturer: Sword Kit #SW48013
Model: Reggiane Re.2001 CN Falco II
Scale: 1/48
Extras: Mainly OTB.

With some new details come to light, I've decided to enter this in the GB rather than do a S to F build.

Reggiane RE 2001 CN. "White 1" Italian Co-Belligerent Air Force, Lacce, December 1943.

The kit parts look very clean and well moulded and as the kit seems to have no history and is shown as new tooling so lets hope were on a winner.

It looks to be a very simple kit.

These decal do not come with the kit and are currently winging there way from Italy.

This is a nice project to construct my friend.

Looking forward to see this beautiful machine come alive......

I've only built a Sword kit in 1/72 and it was rather rough. This one looks much nicer.

I've got the 2001-CN variant of this kit in the stash so I'll be interested in seeing your progress on this build.

I'm doing the Re 2001 CN in the new GB 58 and have a thread started but as yet no action on the build. I intend to build both models in tandem.

These dual builds mess with my pea brain.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

You think you have a problem, I'm struggling to work out which one I'm working on.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Thanks guys. Just keeping this one rolling, here is the cockpit seat with improvised harness.
