That looks painful...

The New Fiat ejection system met with a few complaints and was considered to much of a PITA to carry on with.

Great build of a kit that you don't normally see! Italian camo will be a challenge at 1/72!

I'm undecided at this time. I may just choose the box art scheme.

Mikey welcome back! It's great to see you again. Thanks for the memories; I built one of these along with the Re-2001 and Re-2002 back in the day. Yours looks magnificent so far. I'm looking forward to seeing it in paint.

Nicely done till now
I build one as catapultable unit few years ago with some extra work

Catapultable? This planes was used on carriers by Itali?

Nope Thomas, Regia marina had no carriers: the re2000 was used on battleship or heavy cruisers, mainly when near to the coast with some chance to landing on airfields. If you notice on some Littorio class ship models you can spot the little reggiane on catapults

Bottom of my 2000 where catapult grips was added







Also who wants to correct horizontal tail surfaces building supermodel reggianes (re2000, 2001, 2002) , need at least to move the rudders backward till the end of tail

BsY, did you scratch build those or did they come with the kit? I'd love to see more of that build.
