The first competition was for a heavy fighter. The MC-300 was a twin-fuselage Mc-205, the G-58 a twin fuselage G-55, the Re-2005 was infact a twin fuselage Re-2005 longer than the original. Here a nice isometric view of those three aircraft, plus an alternative design od the Re-2005. They came from here.. go there, dowload, and start salivating...

I knew I had it, problem was were... From Aerofan/64 First Quarter 1998

Piaggio P-112

Also, actually, the CANT proposal didn't cost twice as much of the Piaggio one. The two were similar in price. When RA announced that Cant had won, Piaggio slashed the price by half... RA was tempted.. At the end, the Piaggio aircraft ended to cost two times the tendered price.. Draw your conclusions..

Also, in the P-108 - P-112 - P-133 evolution, all medium altitude heavy bombers, there was an interesting detour, the pressurized P-130. But this I'll post in  a new topic

Whoa!!  A P.108 on floats.  Now that'd be something different to do with the Special Hobbies kit.

Because you persist in not reading Aerofan, Peppe... and the Ufficio Storico dell'Aeronautica publications...
The 1016 was a proposed single engine derivative of the 1015, intended in 1938 to gain the non-stop flight distance record. The engine had to be a 1400 HP unit, not defined. The proposal was rejected.
The 1014 was proposed in floatplane version, too, as CANT Z.512. I have a profile, anyone interested ?
