Tamiya 89787 - 1/48 Reggiane Re.2022 (Airframe parts are made by Italeri, Inc.)  [89787]

Stand Out Italian Fighter Bomber

From demand produced by the Italian atmosphere force, the Reggiane Re2000 ended up being produced and had its maiden trip in 1939. The aircraft featured an all-metal low-wing monoplane which differed from other Italian fighter designs. The Reggiane was superior and installed with an air-cooled 1,175cc motor to make the Re2002 which was adopted by the Italian atmosphere force as a fighter bomber. This aircraft had two nose installed 12.7mm weapons, two 7.7mm wing mounted weapons, and had the capacity to carry a 650kg bomb under its fuselage. They first saw combat on Allied intrusion of Sicily in July 1943. When Italy surrendered, the Luftwaffe utilized them for anti-partisan duties. Some of these aircraft joined the Italian Co-Belligerent Air Force and fought alongside with all the Allies.
