Italeri was founded in the early 60s with that enthusiasm that only the unbridled passion of youth can create. Since they were boys the two founders of Italeri loved airplanes and military vehicles. Soon they were no longer satisfied with the models available at the time: they wanted something more and better. What they wanted was not available so they decided to produce it themselves. Their hobby turned into an accurate research and became the motivating force to produce the models that modelers want with no imperfections whatsoever. Thus the company asserted itself always increasing his range of products and growing. Also thanks to the imagination and the talent of the founders and of their colleagues Italeri in time became a leader in modeling! Item is brand new and in its original factory packaging.
