question about Re 2002
I' ve just started the new Italeri Re2002 and of course I'm planning to build the airplane af Major Cenni...On the italeri reference for the painting I've noticed that in Cenni airplane the "fasci" are completaly missing over and under the wings.. and actually the overwing seems to be overspraied with another and not specified green...
I' m asking if somebody can confirm that or anyway could help me
Regards

I have photo with Cennis, Re 2002 and at the bottom of the wings are the only rings, fascio is not entirely repainted

With the fall of the Facist government on 25 July 1943 it was ordered that the fasci be removed from the aircraft. The wing markings could be over painted entirely or only the fasci be painted over leaving the outer ring.
The fuselage fasci was aslo removed. The colored fuselage fasci was probably a "decal" and simply stripped off.
I just received the Italeri Re. 2002 and a bit disappointed. While the rivets are not as bad as has been shown, they are absurd and have no rhyme or reason. Just there because of the rivet fad. The worst part is the control surfaces, they are way overdone and detail is soft.
Although I I have not put glue to plastic, my initial impression is that the cowl is not well shaped and the nose machine guns are poorly represented.
The decals are not up to current quality. The RA Co-B cocardes are out of register and have a red edge to the green portion.
This maybe Cenni's aircraft.
This appears to be another aircraft of the same unit. Note the position of the unit badge on the nose, only facing forwards on the left side.

Just to add to Modeldad's evaluation of the kit
Hello Steven, just to add to your impressions of the new Italeri kit of the Re.2002. I have to say that the general fit of the kit is very unimpressive and lacking to say the least. The lower wing to fuselage join is horrible, some of those big rivet (sink holes) are surely going to be lost on the build process.
I agree with you that the machine guns on the cowling are really disappointing, and Italeri supplies a decal if one doesn't want to even attempt to drill them out.
Anyways, I'll start building mine as soon as I finish my current project.
Best regards,
