Re: ICM 1/32 Bu-131 Jungmann
looks awesome so far! I knew someone who flew it as a young lad in post-WWII years, and praised it for its aerobatic performance.

Re: 1/48 lift-carrier for the Re.2000 G.A. (catapult) and M-B L3000S truck
Sorry for being late - but this is just WOW! I'm waiting to see your Reggiane and keep my fingers crossed for this project. thanks! I'm nearing completion of a Kaelble Z6 tow traktor, since there is no Lancia 3Ro in 1/48 unfortunately. Unless there was some obscure kit that was not common. The Re.2...

Re: 1/48 lift-carrier for the Re.2000 G.A. (catapult) and M-B L3000S truck
thanks! I will do when the Re.2000 G.A. is cmpleted with all the mods. I'm an a/c modeller, and this is really all about modelling a catapultable Re.2000.

Re: 1/48 lift-carrier for the Re.2000 G.A. (catapult) and M-B L3000S truck
thanks! I don't normally build models fast, I just work less during summer, and have stopped working out for couple of months now. which article is that? do you mean description of the project? yes, I can do this. I will continue WIP thread once I get to the Re.2000. I only build aircraft in 1/48, a...

1/48 lift-carrier for the Re.2000 G.A. (catapult) and M-B L3000S truck
I completed the first stage, no Falco yet, but it's coming in several months, as I have other projects on the bench.
I will add better pics in couple of days.

Re: WIP of something never kitted before, and questions/ 1/48 and Re.2000 content
thanks for the tip! I will certainly read everything I have on the catapultable Re.2000 kit before I start the project. the Profile Publication that I just downloaded is consistent with the MMP book and Aviolibri.. the only thing that is unclear: what they did with the prop when the a/c was transpor...

Re: WIP of something never kitted before, and questions/ 1/48 and Re.2000 content
thanks! this makes sense. I have a good idea how to proceed with the Re.2000 build, which is a CA kit, and I might borrow some parts from a SH kit that I received sealed with a defective lower wing part.... right now I just want to finish the truck and take some pics already. It's been only 4 weeks ...

Re: WIP of something never kitted before, and questions/ 1/48 and Re.2000 content
The scan from Aviolibri you provided shows the "red 1" on the catapult ready for launch, and the number was to the right on the white band. I've also been in touch with WIP3D, and the color is still not conclusive. They made a good point that whatever paint was available was sprayed over metal prime...

Re: WIP of something never kitted before, and questions/ 1/48 and Re.2000 content
thank you for the reference! I am very new to these subjects - I only build 1/48 aircraft. It appears I'm close with the color selection, which is great! I received MMP book on the Re.2000/2002/2003, and it has all the necessary drawings to add catapult clamping points to the Re.2000GA. And the pilo...

Re: WIP of something never kitted before, and questions/ 1/48 and Re.2000 content
hey Stormo! people, I'm calling the Re.2000 lifting rig complete for now. I will add details and potentially might need to re-paint if/when more info becomes available. Specifically I'll be looking for GA drawings; I came up with nothing in my search, and only used photographs, which is a very dicey...

Re: WIP of something never kitted before, and questions/ 1/48 and Re.2000 content
thank you very much! dude, I have this book, am so dumb sometimes, this is Aviolibri, your scans prompted me to look and I found it. I have sold 1/3 of my library years ago, but kept the whole RA segment. I got into hobby at a very early age, so library grew back then.... I actually read this book m...

Re: WIP of something never kitted before, and questions/ 1/48 and Re.2000 content
thanks very much! I sent Harvey a PM.
I did contact the maker of the carrier WIP3D, and they were not sure about the color either. Allegedly, only two of these existed. I remember reading elsewhere that only six or eight Re.2000 were converted for the duty, and 2-3 prototypes prior to that.

WIP of something never kitted before, and questions/ 1/48 and Re.2000 content
hey, what's up gang.. this one is very difficult to research. I was not able to find anything on this lift carrier,- only 5-6 pictures. I just purchased a book on the Re.2000, and am hoping to get more info. I am aware of all the correct adders and mods to the Re.2000 ser.3 to make it right (catapul...
