Regia´46. Reggiane Re 2005 R

[PACOPEPE]

When i sent the post of the Reggiane Re 2006 R three days ago, i made a reference about another similar project -and previous-; the Reggiane Re 2005 R. Then i thought; why not?.

Yes, please do...

This is the one with a piston engine driving a compressor rather than a "jet" is it not? Either way, fascinating model.

Thanks Tophe. Yes Sideshowbob9, the Re 2005 R was two Campini compressors instead one that the Campini Caproni CC had.; because its mixed propulsion.

This disposition requires a great change on the fuselage of Reggiane Re 2005.

Phase II. Because in the Reggiane 2005 "standard" the cabin was more backward than the Reggiane 2005 R, i had to remove a piece of the fuselage and then, rejoin the fragments. I also had to cut the or¡ginal junction of the fuselage with the wings.
