TESTED IN #DBW 1.7.1


This will modify 3d appearance of the beautiful western0221's Re.2002m "What If Marina version"  (https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,27534.0.html)
into a naval Re2001, that really existed. From wiki:

"Re.2001 OR Serie II
Aquila's planned air complement was 51 non-folding Reggiane Re.2001 OR fighter-bombers: 41 stowed in the hangar deck (including 15 suspended from the deck head) and 10 on the flight deck in a permanent deck park. A folding-wing version of the Re.2001 was planned, which would have increased the size of Aquila's air group to 66 aircraft, but this never materialized. Only 10 Re.2001s were fully converted for carrier use. They were given tail hooks, RTG naval radio equipment and bomb racks for carrying 650 kg (1,400 lb) of bombs. They were also armed with two 12.7 mm (0.5 in) Breda-SAFAT machine guns mounted above the engine cowling."

To install it:
1) Install western's Re.2002m (https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,27534.0.html) (to get cockpit  )
2) Unpack package to mods folder (e.g. #DBW)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

of course you can use skins of Re2000 and 2002 if you want to fake a normal 2001


or an ICAF aircraft


if you want it entirely green, like in the photo below, use instead these TGAs:

CREDITS
PAULUS, that made it flyable as standalone
Team Daidalos, western0221 for his excellent mod, RedFox_90 from whose old franken I was inspired


(if I forgot someone please let me know and I'll add him)

IMPORTANT NOTE
This is NOT, absolutely NOT the franken circulating time ago, as you can easily verify checking .msh .mat .tga and .him of the two versions.  I am the only responsible for the whole monsterization.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

UPDATE
https://www.mediafire.com/?ua8w9144fsm9lfl
download, unzip, copy the two folders into "Plane" and overwrite the old hier.him files when requested (after backup)
These are two new hier.him that slightly but sensibly change the shape of the engine (I was told it should be a little shorter...hey, it's a Work In Progress after all!!!    )

Small amendment to weapons_ru entry.
It was still pointing to old Re.2002m class instead of Re.2001m.

Re2001 could actually carry heavy loads:

[Dreamk]

The bombs taken by these planes are a subject by themselves - the "mysterious" "bomba mina di 450" that appears nowhere in Italian Ordnance lists, but equipped the naval Reggiane, was in fact a French Naval bomb type L  (Bombe Perforante = AP) officially of 410kg (French bomb designation used fictious weights, with for instance the 10kg bombs weighing 7kgs and the 500kg bomb weighing 570kgs!).
It is more than probable that the  "makeshift" 640kg bomb made from a 380mm marine shell was also in fact a Heavy French Naval Type M, as the story told by the Italian pilot about how he "invented" this bomb lacks credibility when you take the face value of the facts he himself mentioned and look at the photographies of this bomb. - This would explain why it "failed" when used against the HMS Victorious, as it was a bomb designated for blast and not for penetration. French booty was used quite a lot in Italian hands, not only the D520 and the Leo451 - but parts and equipment, facilitated by the long association between Italian and French military industries.

Nice one, even if I keep hope in a true Re2001, thanks

@Dreamk
