GreenDragon Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Still no sign of the Canberra B.2 from the catalogue years ago, can't remember how long it's been. Used to buy loads of Italeri but their pricing went crazy and you could get better kits around the same price. Â Paul Harrison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caerbannog Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Is it just my memory or was it in tha past that "Top Secret" labeled kits were whifs like F-19, Ferret E, Penetrator and stealth helicoper. Have there been "normal" subjects at Italeri, which were "Top Secret" at the biginning of the year? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Local rumours are that the HH-3F was a few years ago considered but in the end judged a commercial suicide and shelved. As well known the Pelikan may have been in Italy (and those used for SAR duties were very visible, think of them as the local equivalent of the all yellow RAF Sea Kings), the local market may or not sustain enough sales to make a new tool viable. This variant is also very little known in other markets that are important for Italeri, so it's really a type that I wouldn't bet on from them.

roym Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 (edited) Lots there for me. F27, Fujimi Fg1 and SH3, Range Rover and GWagen. Prob a few others. The AV-8 could also be Fujimi or Esci. No new 1/720 aircraft carrier though, thought we might see a USS Ford or HMS QE. Or even a Garibaldi. Hoping for an AW139 or Sikorsky S92 as one of those new tools...

oggy4u Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 I know that Italeri have a 37mm cannon mold with a large cover for their Henschel Hs-129 . As far as I know they have never offered the Hs-129 with the 37 mm gun . I would love to see that variant . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oggy4u Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Italeri Hs-129B-2 1294 shows the box art of the type 103 30mm cannon . The Hs-129 gondola for the 37 mm cannon is  massive . If you look at the Italeri sprues for the Hs- 129 you will see gaps for missing parts .Therefore no Italeri Hs-129B-2 with 37mm cannon has been produced .

TEMPESTMK5 Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Good morning  Regarding the P 51''B'' the box art represents an Alison engine Mustang and Italeri produced this kit https://www.scalemates.com/kits/italeri-090-p-51-mustang--266090 a few years ago time will tell what's really in the box but for an Alison Engine Mustang I prefer the Academy kit https://www.scalemates.com/kits/academy-12401-p-51-mustang-north-africa--107300  Patrice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both are tools that I hope are lost forever... If the FG.1 is someone else's tool, then Fujimi is the most likely.  4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
71chally Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 (edited) If Italeri are issuing the Fujimi Phantom FG.1 then that is great news|! I can't see it being the Revell/Hasegawa/Frog FG.1 which didn't actually represent a 'British' Phantom anyway. Â I'm hopping the Mi-24P is the Zvezda kit.
