Other than the Stirling, it's pretty drab, being mainly rereleases and not all of them are Italeri toolings.  The Impala is the old Supermodel kit.

And given that Italeri's prices are shooting up - their Ju 88 in 72nd is more expensive than the revell one (quite insulting considering that the Italeri tooling is 20 year old and the Revell one is pretty new) - don't expect much change from £30 for the Stirling.

You'll be lucky more like £40 for a flagship tooling like that, the F-35A will probably be about £20 ish give or take a quid, but at least they are doing a new tooling and not trying to tweak their X-35B mould to an F-35B which they originally propossed to do a few years ago !!!.

Like the Impala a lot!  :thumbsup:

Have you noticed the "classic" Ju-86 near the end too?

Yup. Not really new, but you can do a lot with it - good to keep the kit on the market.

I've seen that the CR 32 is a new tooling and not a revamp of the Supermodel kit, although that was nice.

Sterling - same price as the Sunderland probably so wait until MZ reduce the price in a sale
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

The Italeri Ju 86 was always a nice kit, with a reasonable level of detail.

I know it's a re-release, but I'm happy to see the 1:720 Admiral Kuznetsov though. I've been looking for one of tose for ages

Why the Trumpeter one is far superior and matches the other Soviet naval model in 1/700 scale ?

Probably because I'd forgotten about that one, and, of course, finding one has been a bit of a quest so far as well.

Also, the Trumpy Kuzzies are as rare as hens teeth!!!

Is the hump mould in the fuselage or attached as a separate item?

I think its part of the fuselage parts.
I always hope for the best.
Unfortunately,
experience has taught me to expect the worst.

Ya it's attached. I thought it might have been the old Fujimi molding, which has it seperate, but it's new :

The Italeri OA-4M dates back to the late eighties, but is quite good though not as detailed as the Fujimi one. it has an optional vertical tail fin top so you could also make a Kuwaiti or Brazilian trainer if you can find some decals. The hump is included on the fuselage halves, and there is a faint mould line half way down the fuselage where Italeri had an incert for the single seat A-4F. I bought one a few weeks ago from Kingkit for about the same price. It features a mix of raised and engraved details but is a nice affordable kit, at half the price of a Fujimi one.
