discussion Model Expo Verona 2022

[Andy the Sheep]

Yesterday I was in Verona for the 2022 Model Expo.
I'm not very good at shooting (at least with a camera). Anyway, here a selection of not too bad pics, starting with WW1

some ships, almost all RC models for Chris "boatman" delight (Bismark is 1:72 and took 5 years to complete)

Last, but not least, my only sin :flushed:

and some news about the Italeri 1/32 MC 202, due in 2022:

• at the Italeri official stand, Italeri personnel confirmed that the kit is scheduled for this year but if asked for more details they gave no satisfactory answer :rolling::sad-face:. They looked more focused on the new 1/12 Lancia Delta integrale (a promo video shooting was going on).
• from other sources it is almost certain that Italeri got the permission to scan the real MC 202 now in Vigna di Valle Italian Air Force historical museum, so the announced "new mould" should be true. Some "rivet counter" pointed out that the tail of the MC 202 in the museum should belong to a MC 205, so he's waiting for the first pictures of the sprues to check if the small tail differences he affirms there should be have been sorted out or not.:surprised::smiling6::rolling:

Thanks very much Andrea........I'm quite certain that Chris will be overjoyed to see the "Large" scale ship models. Looks like it was a great show. :thumb2: Rick H.

Thank you mates.
Yes, it was a great show and a very fatiguing one... I managed to extract my wallet just twice, and only once the procedure ended with a very few fivers changing hands. :money-face::smiling:
