Italeri asking about new kits.

[Trenton guy]

Amen to the 1/72 Mig-17, and how about a MiG-19, both the AMX's, a Sikorsky S-51 (Dragonfly), and the Canberra B.2 that they hinted at so long ago. All to 1/72 scale, of course.

[Lex77]

1/48 HH-3F!!!!

[mungo1974]

I email for the CH/HH-3 too.

1/72 or 1/48....about time we had a decent kit....theres atleast 6 USAF/AFRES birds i want to build

The classic Vietnam Jolly Green Giant..... Want one so bad..

As there have already been plenty of helicopter requests made I opted for the following, all in 1/72;

Macchi C.200

Macchi C.202

Macchi C.205

Piaggio P.108

AMX

G-91

I know they have some of these currently moulded but feel these could all do with being brought up to date.

If Italeri don't bring out a quality AMX in 1/72 nobody ever will!

I don't have, nor will I ever have, a facebook account, so if anyone has one, feel free to add the following to Italeri's list:

1:48 KingAir B200

1:144 Backfire bomber

1:144 B-52 bomber

1:144 Tu-95KM (ancient naval cruise missile bomber)

1:350 Victory class freighter

1:24 Mercedes Actros 4460 w.big nice crane (the utility truck with larger wheels, NOT the trailer vehicle)

Here's a photo of some toy showing the general look of the truck (though this is a cement vehicle, but it should show the wheel configuration):

Hi Housesparrow, nice choices especially the SKA 200, the link I posted is Italeri's own site and nothing to do with Facebook.

For starters they can release what they have already announced.

I would like to see the 1/48 Piasecki H-21 see the light of day anytime soon.

Hi Flarpen, got the new Tamiya Model Mag today and the 1/48th H-21 is in the Italeri advert along with the recon nosed 1/32nd Mirage IIIE/R and a DAF truck.

The same Italeri very recently did a similar survey asking modellers what existing mould they'd like to see reissued, may be worth checking if the survey is still open

IIRC the winners were two 1/35th Italian WW2 Tanks, several 1/24 trucks and cars including the Alitalia Lancia Stratos. Only aircraft I can remember are the 1/48th SR-71A/B, 1/72nd SM81 Pipistrello (spelling prob wrong!) and the SM 82 Marsupiale.

Italeri don't just do Italian subjects, but while we're at it a PD.808 Vespa jet would be appreciated (though highly unlikely) in 48th or 72nd would be super!

[Geoff_B]

A 1/72 Westland Wasp would be nice.

What I would like to see is them do the Wessex HAS1 with external stores in 72nd as they have in 1/48th and to see the Westland Whirlwind versions to go with their S-55 Family

[sniperUK]

Wasp/Scout have problems, I believe whoever now holds the DA (I don't believe it is Westlands who are very helpful as far as models are concerned ) is unwilling to allow models without asking for megabucks for the rights

[Grizzly]

I would like to see the AW Merlin HM 1/2 they had down to release afew year's back in 1/48 .

[The wooksta V2.0]

A 48th Sikorsky H-76 Eagle would be very nice. Mainly as I'd like to do this:

as a companion piece to the 48th Aoshima Airwolf...

[dcrfan]

How about:

1/35 Oto Melara Mod 56 105mm pack howitzer (aka L5)

1/35 Alouette III

[gregair]

A good 1/48 Ah-1G Cobra and 1/48 Fiat G91R

[Mountain goat]

I've suggested

1) downscaling their Mirage III to 1/72

2) a new 1/72 Canberra.

3) most importantly: a G.91Y in 1/72.

While not always great kits, I do love the brand.

Canberra B2 in 1/72. Someone's got to produce one!

[mirageiv]

Make a special boxing of their 1/32 IIIE/R into the Swiss IIIS/IIIRS! Please!

[MikeR]

1/72 S-92 would be most welcomed

And a AW139

Seconded for the AW139, plenty of military operators to go with the civilian ones!

Mike.

[Graham Boak]

We still lack kits of some of the larger Italian aircraft of WW2, such as the SM 84 torpedo bomber and the Cant Z.1018 medium bomber.

[PhantomBigStu]

Was shocked to find on browsing that Italeri's tool of the Fiat G55 is 54 years old....surely they should be retooling it

[The original Kit Builder]

Accurate colour schemes and decals for some of their existing kits might be nice.

Still, a new 1/48 scale range of Macchis might be nice, as would a group of Schnieder Trophy racers.

Macci and Fiat racers would be great - exactly what I want to suggest to them - although I doubt these will ever be done by a mainstream producer.

[Truro Model Builder]

I'd settle for a sensible pricing policy for their existing range.

[chrisov]

Agreed. Haven't bought a full price Italeri model for some years now. Either wait for a sale or sensible price via ebay.

Chris

[exdraken]

M346 master for me in 1/48 please!

used by Italy, Israel, Singapoor, Poland,,and will enter the USAF T-X competition!

so plenty of schemes possible (Israel seems always to be popular, so...)

[JWM]

Can somone do a modern-standard kit of Potex XXv and Breguet XIX? For me It could be Italeri, why not...

The company has a traditions of modelling Italian designs. There is a dozen of Italian historical machines which are poorly (or never) done as injection kits in 1/72: Fiat CR20, RS 14 and G12 (not to tell about G-50 ) , long list of Capronis: AP1, Ca 164, 133/148, 100, 111, 135, some Savoias (SM 55, 75...) , SAIMAN 202, Macchi MC 200, Breda 44 and 28.... I hope for many of them documentation exists...

Cheers
