MPM have published the complete instructions as well as sprue shots of their new Fiat BR.20 kit and it looks very tasty! It should only be a matter of days until the kit hits the shelves.
SH48068 Fiat BR.20 Cicogna

Most of the World War 2 Italian bombers were of the tri-engine conception. One of the few exceptions was the twin-engined Fiat BR.20 Cicogna. Huge twin-engined machine that feature twin tail had participated even during the Spanish Civil War. When the WW 2 broke out Fiats were deployed over France and Mediterranean Theatre. The Italian attempt to deploy them against Great Britain failed due to the heavy British defense but Fiats were successful over Yugoslavia and Greece. Subsequently the machines were withdrawn from first line service. Also, export Fiats were successful. Japan purchased Fiat BR.20s and deployed them in Sino-Japanese Conflict.

Higher resolution images can be seen at the kit's info page at www.cmkkits.com.

Hi Jean-Luc That's really exciting! It was top of my Christmas List, but sadly it's ended up just too late. Is there such a thing as a New Year's Resolution List? I definitely want it, whatever excuse it takes to justify it! All the best Rowan
