Whither the Italeri Macchi C.202?

Apologies in advance if I've missed updates posted here, but just wondered if there was any word on when we might see the 1/32 Folgore listed in the current Italeri catalog?

 

Original release date was listed as May, IIRC. Really hope it's a good one, I love this beast!

Far more probable indeed.

Please note that I didn't say which Christmas...   :D

 

This is one that I've wanted for many years, so I'm hoping it's the next Christmas coming.

 

 

Cheers,

Michael

This may be silly, but has anyone got an answer from Italeri direct? They were kind enough to crush my dreams via email earlier this year (reissue of 1/48 Bell JetRanger that was in catalogue since 2016).

I have been writing to Italeri for years to do a 1/32 series of Mc 202 and 205. This is the latest reply regarding the upcoming release:

Dear Sir,
 
thank you for your mail, herewith we inform you that we will produce our kit
2518 Macchi 202 Folgore and there is the possibility to build a 205 Veltro
version with some extra parts (self-built by you), we are taking in
consideration the possibility to produce the model 205 in the next years.
 
Concerning your request to send you some sprues before we sell the kits, we
are sorry but we don't make this service.
 
Best regards,

2016? It is actually an ESCI kit from the eighties.

 

I think Zac means that the re-issue has been promised in the catalogue since 2016, rather than the introduction of the original kit.
