JOCKNEY Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 A while ago while discussing the next potential Classic Kit GB, the idea formed of combining Italeri, Esci, Supermodel etc into its own Classic GB. I apologise, I dropped the ball on this one and should have started a thread earlier. The trouble is I started thinking about an Italian Job GB, that included all things Italian, just imagine the possibilities Bikes Ducati, Moto Guzzi, Lambretta, Piaggio Cars Fiat, Ferrari, Maserati, Lamborghini, Iso Grifo, Lancia, Alfa Romeo Aircraft Fiat, Breda, Cant, Piaggio, Savoia You get the idea, so is it Italian Kits, or all things Italian ? What do you think ? 1. @JOCKNEY 2. @helios16v 3. @Corsairfoxfouruncle 4. @trickyrich 5. @Wez 6. @vppelt68 7. @stevej60 8. @zebra 9. @Beazer 10. @SleeperService 11. @Valkyrie 12. @Arniec 13. @Romeo Alpha Yankee 14. @Foxbat 15. @CliffB 16. @Angus Tura 17. @Hockeyboy76 18. @nimrod54 19. @reini 20. @TEMPESTMK5 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30.

helios16v Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 It's funny you bring this up...... Not 2 hours ago I was picturing in my head doing a little dio of Italeri's 1/72 church (currently in the stash) w/ a pair of Italian Starfighters buzzing the steeple (ordered not half hour ago). 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wez Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 (edited) I'm in! You'd better start a list. FWIW, I'd be up for an Italeri/ESCI/Supermodel GB. TBH though, I think @stevej60 is pushing Revellogram for the next Classic GB. Edited June 2, 2020 by Wez 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevej60 Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 I'd be up for it Pat as Wez mentioned the Revellogram GB is proposed but it's gone a bit quiet at the moment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zebra Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 I'd be up for all things Italian (does it have to be Italian made, or Italian operated?) or Italeri. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding is any or all of the above. It sounds like it started out as an Italeri GB, then the stone at the top of the mountain triggered an avalanche that quickly expanded to encompass all things Italian. At least that was how I interpreted it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vppelt68 Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 This is not entirely a new idea, though, there's already seven pages of discussion here: https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234971720-la-dolce-vita-italian-gb-2016-we-got-34-now-ma/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickyrich Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 oh that's right, I tried to get that up years ago, we got to the vote then bombed out! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SleeperService Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 I still have my planned build from the last one so I'll be in. All things Italian please keep it as open as possible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOCKNEY Posted June 3, 2020 Author Share Posted June 3, 2020 As things are developing, I'm tempted to include both Italian kits AND Italian objects As that way we cover all the bases, however we are loosing the focus on the Classic Kits side of things which has been so successful so far ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Italian kits, Italian subjects and Italian based perhaps? WWII Italian based units/squadrons..Imola GP cars that won/raced the circuit... Im in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vppelt68 Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 To be honest, there's actually zero Italeri or Esci kits I'd call classic, although if there are classic failures and disappointments, then why not? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arniec Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 As I was also in the older GB, so I can't pas this one. So I am in. There must be something in my stash. Cheers, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romeo Alpha Yankee Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 If Italian kits are an option, I'd be up for it. Plenty of Italeri C-130s in the stash 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxbat Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 I'd be in for this whatever the final format is. Have some things in the stash and some projects I'd love an excuse for either way. Sadly, my mirror says I'm already working on a 1:1 scale model of Pavarotti 😕 Andy 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helios16v Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 I do have a 1/48 ESCI (1980) US-3A COD squirreled away if it goes the "classic" Italian manufacturer route. Also have a 2008 Italeri S-3A/B boxing of the same kit. I'd certainly not have any complaints about building one of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
