Italeri website brings us information about two new kits in the company's offer.
I hope this report still comes in time and allow you to revise your list of "wanted as present" items for Christmas.

The 1:48 scale enthusiats will get a British Hawker Hunter F. Mk.6/9. This kit consists of six plastic sprues, two of them are doubled, small clear plastic sprue with the windshield and canopy and the decals of course. As there are six painting options provided the decal sheet is quite large. We can find there markings of the British, Swiss, Singapore, India and Dutch Air Force.
Product page.

In the 1:72 scale we have a MH-53J Stallion Pave Low III helicopter. Inside the box we will find two beige plastic sprues, small sprue with clear parts of nose and windows in the fuselage and a decal sheet with few "low vis" markings. Two painting schemes of US machines are included. Kit's catalogue no: 030

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
