Following!
I miss a reissue of the Sword mold.

It's the old Supermodel, not the Sword 😉

I know, but I still long for a reissue of the Sword kit 😄
I'm sure you'll get great results with this Supermodel and I want to see it 😉

Ah ok! I agree with you, I searched the Sword here and there but no results!

Anyway, I have to admit that the old and glorious Supermodel is very good: very little putty needed, perfect fit, not bad at all! 👌🏻

I'll keep that in mind in case I give up the quest for the Sword kit 😄 👍

What a spectacular camo choice! 👍

Thanks mates!!!

Yes, really an eye catching camo, made "on the go" during a reconditioning. The "smoke rings" were very imprecise 🙂

An update: I started applying the Mike Grant's decals (that landed in my house a decade ago), then started painting with a micro brush.

The colour between the decals and the Lifecolor is the same! Very satisfied!

First layer of the camo finished, sorting decals from my stash in order to find the proper markings 🙂

Thank you mates! I'm very satisfied with that model, I'll try to finish it as best as I can!

Almost finished! I applied the landing gear and prepared the canopy and the propeller.

PS Dear Cuajete, I did it! Yesterday evening I found on eBay the Sword "6 Reggiane s" kit at a reasonable price and I got it 🙂

Good progress, Moreno 👍
...And good news... Congrats!! If you have the Reggiane 2001 left over from that set, please let me know 😉

Working on the landing gears, added the propeller and the canopy. Not completely satisfied about the latter..I use a small brush but I have still to work around with a toothpick.
Started also to add the antenna wires.

Almost finished 🤞🏻👍🏻

On the finish line 👍

very impressive so far Moreno 👍

Dear Cuajete and Guy, many thanks for your kind words! I touched up the canopy, I worked a bit with soft pastels, and I declare this model finished!

Although I have still to improve some technics (as an example, I used a perfect transparent form Falcon, next time I'll try to apply masks and to work more on internal detailing 🙂 ) I'm very satisfied with the overall appearance. 🙂

@Cuajete: I have now another Re 2001 from Supermodel and a Re 2001 from Sword; let my reflect until the end of the summer if I'll consider to build the latter, otherwise I'll be glad to give you the latter 😉

Intricate camo and lovely build, congrats! 👍

That SuperModel has been very good in your hands. Very pretty. It looks great with his family at the showcase 👍
Congrats!

Moreno, many thanks! Of course I'll let you reflect as long as you need, but don't give me Sword's Re.2001 if you finally get rid of it; sell it to me in that case. And if you decide to keep it to make a new Re.2001, it will be a pleasure to see that new build in your hands 🙂

Dear friends, many many thanks for your kind words!
Your interest is much appreciated! 👍🏻👌🏻

...Now I'm thinking if starting another little jem 😉

Very nicely done, Moreno! You must have great patience to apply all the 'smoke ring' decals.
9 July 2022, 17:07
Moreno Baruffini
Many thanks, Gordon! Not all the smoke rings are decals, many are brush painted 🙂 I used an "N .0" brush (made by the Italian firm "Amati" and the Lifecolor Verde oliva scuro": a perfect match 🙂
