Detailed 1/48 Reggiane Re.2002 Model Summary

The Reggiane Re.2002 was introduced as an enhanced version of the Re.2000, featuring an air-cooled powerplant and several machine guns that suited it to fighter-bomber duties during World War II. It took part in notable operations including the Sicily invasion and some aircraft later joined Allied forces after the armistice.

What the Kit Includes and Its Background

Tamiya's 1/48 kit, incorporating certain Italeri airframe parts, accurately reproduces the Re.2002's narrow engine cowl and compact layout. Finished dimensions are roughly 170mm in length with a wingspan of 229mm, and builders can choose between open or closed canopy assembly and settable flaps for varied presentation.

The package contains a 500kg drop tank plus airfield extras such as fuel drums and jerry cans to assist diorama building. A seated pilot figure and decals for several historical markings are included, and a photographic reference manual helps with painting and finishing decisions.
