Hi Phill, hello to all friends,
thanks for your interest, sorry if I haven't given my news anymore.
We are all still fine, even if the media say that the situation is improving, hundreds of people die here every day and there are always thousands of new ones infected with the virus. I reported to Paul, I thought he updated you. I am very sorry because in addition to the L60 engine, I have to deliver other engines and other kits that have already been paid for in part. Unfortunately I have no solutions, I have to wait, I apologize but it's not my fault. Greetings to all of you and "courage, everything will be fine" Ivano

Other designs modified and corrected.
Now only the back side of the head is missing.
So everything is ready for printing. When it will be possible ????

Hi Phill,
some definitive pieces have started to arrive.
I had them made by a laboratory in southern Italy.
Here in the north much is still closed.
Refrigerant tanks are expected to arrive next week.

Hi Phil,
here, in northern Italy, infections are decreasing,
however, there are still many deaths every day, more than 100 yesterday.
Politically there are too many controversies about how to proceed.
Some activities can reopen but very slowly, everyone is asking for money from the state but there is no money, a great crisis, a great confusion. The fear of all is that the virus, with these reopenings and with the movement of the people, may explode again. If it happens, EXPERTS HAVE ESTIMATED more than 100,000 deaths from today to June.

Finally! Most of the pieces
have arrived.Today or tomorrow I hope that the refrigerant tanks arrive.
The decals have also been ordered. Next week, where possible, I will start creating resin clones of the pieces and then it's done.

The first test of the refrigerant tank on the right-hand side made of resin.
Now, I need your opinion, it is possible that in the copies some bolts are not good, the size is small. There are 130 M1.4 bolts in the engine. What do we do, model them with risk or insert them in the metal kit? You know better than me how much they cost.Tank!

And the correct covers and magazines.
Now I like them more.
The writings are deliberately oversized, otherwise they would not have been seen.
