guillaume320 Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Years ago, Italeri had announced a new Jaguar in 1/48 scale. This project seemed to have been put in the freezer once Kittyhawk announcement theirs... Are we going to see a new tool now from Italeri, or a reissue of one of the 3 existing ones? I really hope the former, but I’m not holding my breath tbh... g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ka-Efka Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 That would almost be too good to be true... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Headroom Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 It’ll be a reissue of an existing mould, only because if you go to the 1:32 aircraft and look at the Tornado GR.4 there’s a badge in the corner saying 100% new tooling.

Muzz Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Their certainly using the same image as they did when they announced it before, and it was announced as a new tool back then. Had a search back through Rumourmonger and the Italeri Jag was first mentioned in 2012/13 and then mentioned in 2014 that it had been cancelled.

Thomas V. Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 (edited) ESCI kit unfortunately. Edited February 1, 2018 by Thomas V. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guillaume320 Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Back in 2012 (was it?), the Jaguar announcement by Italeri was definitely labeled ‘100% new molds’, just google it... No such mention this time unfortunately. And the picture is also different now. It actually looks more like a Jaguar A on the picture now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giorgio N Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 If the Jaguar is the Esci tool, then it's not worth considering. It was never a great kit The Viggen on the other hand may be interesting if the price is right. The Tarangus kit is much better but if Italeri comes out with something at half the price then several modellers may be attracted. Judging by the more recent Italeri pricing policy I have my doubts this will happen... Of course the kit does not accurately represent the fighter variant, I hope they include decals for an AJ in the box. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kampartiger Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 My hopes are that the Reggiane Re.2000 is a new mold, not ex-classic airframes while as for the Starfighter hopefully its the Hasegawa kit and not the ESCI.Shown is the RF-104G variant totting the Orpheus pod,but I doubt whether it will be included in box.

Bjorn Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 The Viggen is probably the old Esci. Good for its time, about 1980, but today mostly nostalgia. For those that want to build a proper Viggen Tarangus/Special Hobby is the only real choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way it seems the modeller will need to put in effort and aftermarket parts to create a truly good replica 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Starfighter should be the Hasegawa one, already currently reboxed by Italeri with different markings. The Re.2000 should be a new tool, derived from their earlier Re.2002 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boman Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Italeri have been known for moulding new sprues to spice up existing molds in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mirageiv Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 The Hasegawa F-104 rebox looks great, hoping they make the decals a bit more accurate than their 1/32 kit however. It will be nice to have accurate Italian markings and stencils in a kit box without going AM, especially with the decal quality Italeri has these days . Not sure I see much sense in an Esci Viggen rebox though! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guillaume320 Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Also note the 2018 version will come with RAF and French markings, so some kind of combo boxing?? Did the Esci kit allow for an 'A' version OOB?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
