Swedish Reggiane Re.2000 the J20B

[Jan den Das]

I read somewhere that the Swedish planned in 1941 to order 60 Re.2000, but these should be powered by the Swedish build P & W 1065 hp radial.
Who knows more about it?
How should it look?

The proposed second batch of 60 Reggiane R.2000s were to be powered by 1,065 hp SFA STWC-3G in place of the Piaggio P.XI. But the reverse-engineering of the Twin Wasp took longer than expected.

You asked how the J.20B should look. Pure speculation but, since the FFVS J.22 didn't exist yet, it stands to reason that the engine arrangement, cowling, etc. would owe more to the Seversky EP-106.

The J 22 design was drawn up as early as 1939 as the GP9 and then there where some plans to mod the Vultee vanguard

Some quick photoshop

Is that last drawing real or is it a notional drawing you've created?
The engine looks likes its been pasted on from the Vultee Vanguard drawing above.

I photoshopped both. I just took the engine cover from the Vultee mod and tried using both propeller covers

Many thanks for the clarification.
