Well, well!
That's nice! A 1/72 Reaper and a strangely familiar F-84F/G. Looks like a not-so-easy-kit version of HobbyBoss's attempt. Start to think about which one is better for a XP-84 conversion.
The Impala is a nice addition to the light attack planes family.

Bf 109g-6: is it a re-edition of an older kit made by somebody else or is it Italeri's new mould?

I think it is a re boxing of the Hobbycraft kit looking at the sprues shots of the Italeri ones they seem to be a match to that of the Hobbycraft kit.
I could be wrong though but going on Italeri's re boxing other kits it seem more than likely it will be a re boxing of some kind
The 190 release they did of this was Dragons 190 kit and the Hawker Hunter they released was the Academy kit.

Since Academy apparently did the moulds of many of Hobbycraft's latter kits it's extremely probable that it's Academy/Hobbycraft plastic. This is good, since the shapes are excellent; the build will be simple and straightforward. The cockpit is pretty basic but aftermarket cures many such woes.

Comparing to this G-14 kit preview, Italeri's up-coming kit looks like a Hobbycraft reboxing to me.
