looks like a 109 with class :aok

it does have a daimler benz engine in it, produced under license by alfa romeo i believe the 2005 had a DB 605.

not a good choice imo, as far as I know this plane didnt even see combat, if you want another C.205 I think our best bet is the G.55 (I am no biased I actually like the Reggiane design more then the Fiat or the macchi) (wing looks sexier)

The plane's operational career began in May 1943, when it was assigned to the 362nd Squadrigia of the 22nd Gruppo. The unit was sent to Sicily at the time of the Allied invasion. Late in June it was based in Capua and used in operations against Allied bombers until 26 August 1943. When the armistice was signed in September, many of the surviving Re.2005s were destroyed by their pilots to prevent them from falling into German hands. Mussolini's forces in the north did manage to get six of these aircraft which they used as trainers. Some aircraft (as many as 13) were captured by the Germans. Some sources maintain that these aircraft were used late in 1943 against Allied bombing raids on Berlin. Others believe that these planes were used as interceptors in defence of the Romanian oil fields.

it did see some combat. and one italian pilot claims he shot down a B-24 over italy, but the USAF have no records of it. but it did see combat non the less.

+1 on this - I'd fly it. The wing does kind of remind one of a spitfire wing doesn't it? Have to agree that we would be more likely to get the Fiat G.55 though.

G.55 would be nice to have. although i dont particularly fly Italian planes i do admire the beauty of their aircraft.

I have the livery of one 2005, from 362a Squadriglia (22 Gr., 42 St.) out of Sicily in 1943. It's the dark olive scheme. I can find that squadriglia operating 2005s only after the armistice, based then in Napoli. Only 36 were built, the Germans considered it very highly. I think about 29 or so were complete pre-armistice and very few of those flew any combat missions, having zero impact on the outcome. It flew so sparingly, the data would be a total "what if" experiment.
All data from: Dunnig, C. 1998. Courage Alone: The Italian Air Force 1940-1943. Hikoki, Great Britain.

well what else besides the Re 2005 and G.55 did the italian airforce fly? i got alot of my info from military factory.com but idk if its got a complete list of aircraft that flew in WW2.

same engine as the 205, but imo ( could anyone back this up with scince?) the wing design of the Re series A/c is much better then the Macchis, but the 2005 is also 200lbs heavier the the 205
also, another thing to look at is that very few Italian A/c were built during the entire time up to their surrender, like the 2001, out of the 250 something of them built, 150 of them were the Re.2001 CN2 night fighters with 20mm wing guns replacing the 7.7mm's so though only 48 of the Re.2005 were built, you have to look at it from more of a service point of veiw (from which people tell me on here that it did see combat and squadron strength

Ic, just throwing this out there but the 109g2 was only 200pnds heavier then the 109f4, not much of a weight difference but it will make the turning radias bigger, but the engine power will make up for that
-
thats the trick too it though, the 205 2005 and G.55 all have the same Alfa Romeo RA. 1050 ( DB605A) engine making 1,475hp, so, the wieght of the 2005 may hamper it over the 205, but, the 2005's better wing design (less wing loading) should help it overcome the extra fat, but out of the three "5 Series" planes, the G.55 has both the lowest wing loading and the lowest loaded weight

LOL,well acording to italys national archive, yes virginia there is a santa claus(babo natale in italy) and yes it saw combat and yes it did shoot down enemy aircraft and yes the germans did use it in combat....but fuel was in short supply and mosy records were destroyed by anti fascists...does that mean it didnt have successes?? not at all. if a tree falls in the forest, the re 2005 still saw combat and still shot down aircraft. at least more than the p-47N and the ta- 152

They flew, they were stationed in Sicily with the 362nd, likely to fight the Invasion. The 2005 does not fill a huge need in the plane set though. Not like modeling the excellent Fiat CR42 Falco would.
