yes thanks for the effort Mark, sounds like sport
Now didn't Rui said he had quite a few pictures from a museum for a On Display of the Barchino? did I dream that? maybe after all :-)

I agree, Sean, and although there doesn't look to be a great amount of exterior detail on this kit (although hard to tell from a pre-production artwork! ), the options for some scratch build variants are there (if you can find any available images, that is!)...still is a very interesting subject, and I wouldn't mind gracing my bench top with this big beauty!
Cheers

No you did not
It's true - just have to edit the images to the proper size and make a walkaround feature just like the SLC200 Maiale
I guess it's a good time to release it, right??
;)
