Is Italeri really releasing a Re.2002 in 1/48 scale in 2008?

Post by jrlucero » Wed Jan 23, 2008 10:02 am

Hello guys, I just read on Cybermodeler that Italeri is planning to release a Re.2002 Ariete in 1/48 scale this year (kit number 2670)??? Does any one have news on this??
Just build it!

I was aware of work on such a kit (it was mentioned in the old forum last year or the year before), however I wasn't aware that Italeri had reached a point of indexing the kit to 2670. I think the most current Italeri index for 1/48 aircraft is ITA2667, so its quite possible that the kit will be released in the not too distant future, that is, if the mold does in fact exist.

What are you going to do with a 2002? It was announced in Nurenberg, so be ready; best regards my friend, jean.

It's December 2008, any one know when this is going to be released? It's been in FSM for a few months but I haven't seen anything else on this release.

According to an email I received from the US distributor, it should be available in the US in February.

Best wishes,
