Tripehound Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Anybody heard if Italeri is going to release a 1/32 MC. 205 Veltro? The MC. 202 kit appears to be engineered for the conversion. GeeBee and Out2gtcha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Eagle Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 I would say it already is partially moulded and set up to have a 205 coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thierry laurent Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Hi guys, FYI Quickboost just announced a bunch of improvement sets for the 202! Resin propeller, exhausts, engine air intake and Venturi tubes are coming soon! I know they are covered by exquisite 3D sets but the QB option will be far cheaper for European modellers.

BR Thierry That's good to hear! Are they going to do a replacement spinner by chance or is that part of the propeller? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to see that and a Fiat G.55 Centauro AND a Reggiane RE.2005 Sagittaro. esarmstrong 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I doubt Italeri would or even could release one with a similar amount of details than the one they used for the Macchi. CRAZY IVAN5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dpgsbody55 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Italeri have previously announced that they will be releasing the C-200 Saetta in 2024. I'm guessing this will be late in the year and I think this is a better move than following the C-202 with a C-205. They're too similar. Maybe for a C-205 for 2025?? C-200 release This was also announced here on the What's New update of 21st January. If Italeri is going to do a C-205 properly, the kit should come with a more slender fuselage. Mario Castoldi refined the fineness ratio of each update of the original C-200. Quite a few C-202's were upgraded to C-205 spec, but still had the "fatter" C-202 fuselage. I am looking forward to the C-200 release and will be buying (it's on backorder at Hannants), but I do hope that they continue to expand their range of Italian WW2 fighters such as the newer Fiats and Reggianne aircraft too.

quang Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 I concur. Italeri made the right choice. The C.200 would be a much more significant release than the C.205. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dennismcc Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 The Italeri C200 is a great idea as it may spur the AM market to help with my PCM C200 build! Cheers Dennis CRAZY IVAN5 and Uncarina 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
