RIP Giuliano Malservisi

[The Rat]

From Facebook:

It is with deep regret that Italeri informs that Mr. Giuliano Malservisi, co-founder of the Italeri Group Pama Trade and the glorious brand Italaerei in pioneering times of modeling in Italy, died yesterday.

I'm sure that most of us have built some of their kits, I know I have. Blue skies, Sir.

[Old Wombat]

I have a kit in the stash with the "Italaerei" brand name.

And quite a few under the "Italeri" brand name.

Thank you, Mr Malservisi, for enabling our attempts to add a little more dissent & confusion into reality.

Oh dear, another one gone.

Oh dear, another one gone.

Indeed. I am now of an age where I look at the age of the departed and hope I last that long....

Oh dear, another one gone.

Indeed. I am now of an age where I look at the age of the departed and hope I last that long....

You and me both 

I shall raise a glass of Valpolicella to the gentleman and say thank you for his pioneering work

That sounds like a fine idea

You and me both 

I shall raise a glass of Valpolicella to the gentleman and say thank you for his pioneering work

And I shall take similar action,  with Chianti Classico in my case.

I'm now of an age when most of them were YOUNGER than me! A tad worrying...................
