That is a shame. Italeri used to be the "new" Airfix....good basic kit at a good price. The lovely 1/48 Cr42 was quantum increase in quality, but price hadn't jumped too much (at least here in NZ). Now with the awful Re2002 (which i was so looking forward to) and this, bad news indeed.
I wonder if there's been a change in personnel?
I really want to support someone who doesn't get everything made in China!
