Great beginning!
How are you handle the mushy gun openings?

Szabo Peter · Post by **Szabo Peter** » Tue Nov 09, 2010 6:44 am

Thank You for your comments!

The gun openings will be drilled, and I will try to reshape the opening with resin (clay consistency). After that sanding-checking-sanding-checking, etc.
Now I'm involved in detailing the cockpit floor and thinning down the seat.
I' curious of your opinion about the cockpit colour of this plane. I go with green in the moment, but continously thinking about grey...

Grey

Hi All,

Thank's for info Lazy Cat!
According to info found on this forum, the cockpit interior of the Re 2002 was very light greyish green.

Stefano wrote:The RE.2002 relic, currently under restoration, had cockpit painted FS34300, rear fuselage interior FS34241, exterior surface primer lighter than FS34373 and bare metal fin frame!

The Re 2002's were manufactured approximately in the same timeframe as the Re 2005's in the same factory. From the photos it's impossible (for me) to tell that the cockpit interior is grey or interior greyish green.

Webmaster wrote:Regarding the Re.2005, there's a famous shot of the rear fuselage section of MM.092351 (wreckage), and the port side view shows an opened access hatch door and the interior of this door is FS.34227.

I don't know if the light grey-green on the preserved Re 2005 fuselage interior is original.
Also I found info on this forum about Reggiane factory did not followed the Tavola X order to paint the interiors grey (maybe to save cost, time and manpower), and it was common to late war Italian aircraft manufacturers.

Stefano wrote:Photo and relics suggest that the factories which had green interiors were Aermacchi, Reggiane and perhaps Caproni, while FIAT (at least on CR.42 and G.50) and Breda kept the grey.

So I'm really confused...

Is there anybody, who saw this Re 2005 fuselage in the museum? The first frame is the aft bulkhead of the cockpit. Is there any visible colour on it?

Hi Peter
I should have a question: How did you implement the marbling o the instrument panel?
Thank you for your answer
Riccardo

Szabo Peter · Post by **Szabo Peter** » Thu Jan 13, 2011 1:59 am

Hi Riccardo,

I used some leftover instrument panel decals. I cut the instrument scales first, one by one, and fixed them in the "holes" with Johnson's Future. This cote gives a glass-like appearance, and fixes the decal strongly.
