Italeri website brings us information about two new kits in the company's offer. One of them is a Hawker Hunter F. Mk.6/9 in 1:48 scale, the other is an MH-53J in 1:72 scale.

Thanks!

To be honest I'm a bit disappointed with these releases. The hunter is just a re-box of the Academy kit (you can still see the Academy logo on the sprues) with some new decals and the Pavelow is a re-issue of their older kit and both at no doubt a considerable great cost than originally

After the recent new tool 1/48 Hurricane I would have hoped these would have been new tooling as well and the Pavelow would have been nicer in 1/48 scale.

Ah well two kits I won't be getting as we have them in the stash already

Very good point Allen. I didn't notice Academy logo on the Hunter sprue before. Well, it looks that these kits are not freshly baked cookies but just reheated chops...

I just got excited for just one second

until I noticed that the pave low was 1/72 and not 1/48

I bought that Pave Low kit at least 20 years ago, or one just like it.

Your probably not far off there Warren, I have the earlier Italeri kit and it has the same box art and decal options, so not a lot of thought has gone in there. At least the Hunter has more options than the Academy kit does, just a shame about the poor fit of the kit
