Very cool!

[SeaVenom]

If this is a new injection kit then I could be tempted.   I've got the Italeri 1/72 glider so might do the prop version too.

I've long lusted after the Italeri 323, now somewhat unobtanium & definitely unaffordium  , lately though, I've been swinging toward 1/144 for larger aircraft, especially post war but this is one WW2 jobby I can see in my stock in 1/144, it just makes sense to me. That will give give the finished model a wingspan of 15". Yup.

Looks like a lovely little model. Unfortunately, the small scale puts me right off it

Sounds like you need a 1/32 one Allan.

Great.   Strangely enough I was just thinking when we'd see this.

[Ka-Efka]

If I manage to find it for a reasonable price it'll definitely become an addition to my 144 collection! :-)

This is great in 1/144. For all you big scale enthusiasts I commend a flash-back to 2004 when Peter Smart impressed us all with his magnificent free-flight 1/24 version. Video linked off this page http://www.atomicworkshop.co.uk/catalog/index.php?main_page=document_general_info&products_id=220

Great to see the vehicles included with the Pit Road kit, might just tempt me in to tiny scale!
