Anyone see this?

http://italeri.com/DettaglioNews.aspx?NEWS=00029

I have suggested an early British cruiser 1:2 and made a BIG plea for for a 1:72 Universal carrier with crew - given that the only plastic offering is the aged Airfix kit.

There is an ENGLISH button top left corner. But in short they ask two questions:

1) What kits (type and scale) you would like us to produce in the next future?

2)What are your three favorite kits currently in the Italeri catalog?

and want us to send the request to [email protected].

As a reward for my favour pls support my wish list below that I sent to Italeri

all in 1/35 scale:

i. Fennek
ii. Patria AMV 8x8 or Rosomak in Poland Service
iii. Ferret Armored Car

Yeah..I just got a bit carried away with the idea I could tell someone I wanted a decent 1:72 Universal Carrier in plastic. I wonder if we actually ever will...?

If you pull the thread I won't be offended...

You might very well be right Jim.

However, regardless of their motives, IMHO I am still thinking that if they took the time to announce this initiative, they will at least look at the ideas we modelers have. It doesn't cost anything for them to do so....

You never know, we might be surprised.

LOL! Hands up to that one...

No, it's not necessarily a criticism of Italeri. Frankly i'm delighted to see them acknowledging the existence of the 'Net after what appears to have been a process of denial... :

I'd like (all in 1/72)

An M7 Priest (Italeri have announce a fast build version, which I've yet to see)
Comet
WW11 US tank destoyers - Hellcat, M10, etc
Centurion

The universal carrier is a good shout too

In fact, any WW11 Allied armour (not Shermans as Dragon is doing a pretty good job) as it's so obvious by omission.
