It's Japanese. Google tends to struggle with it.

Sure about that?

Yes.
Looks like a typical Google translation from Japanese. Try setting the translation page to do it from Chinese - and the result will look pretty interesting

Sorry: I meant are you sure about Italeri re-releasing it?

[pyro-manic]

Sure about that?

A web search only finds images of the old Supermodel box. Italeri re-released the MB-339C and the MB-326K faily recently, but they're not the same thing.

Not at all sure! Thought I'd seen it in my LHS, but perhaps it was one of the others......

According to the 'Big Book', Italeri has never produced a 1/72 Aermacchi of any sorts up to 2003.  The two that are listed  (MB-326A and AMX) are 1/48 kits and the MB-326A is an ex-Esci kit. But I can't say what has been done since 2007 though, the book listings end at that time as the author retired.

As an aside, Italeri and Supermodel were one entity at one time, a company called Aliplast which didn't last long.

Well Italeri have definately issued an MB-326A and an MB-326K in 1/72nd recently because I've got both of them upstairs! They also have an MB-339C out. My understanding is that all of these are old Supermodel molds.

Oh heck! Just set the translator to Hopi and really have fun sorting it out.

Some people really need to keep taking their med's!

Like I said Weaver, after 2007 the 'Big Book' isn't much help.  Supermodel has a history of 'coming & going' over the years they operated and the comment in that company' listing is that they have gone for good this time.  So Italeri taking over their moulds is a good possibility.  Do you have their box numbers handy so I can write them down  please.

I've got a Supermodel MB-339 in the stash, can't remember which variant though and I haven't seen it in years --

I had the Frecce Tricolori version of the 339 until about 2 months ago. I recall it was pretty impressive,, and the decal sheet was outstanding!

Thanks Weaver

That 48th AMX never got released kitnut, I remember seeing box art in the catalogue but no kit appeared. I would have bought a LOT of them.
Italeri's CR32 (Kit No.1322) is ex Supermodel too but has supposedly been upgraded in their Historic Upgrade Program.
