Sorry to dig out this old post, but I just found it and it's very interesting to me.
Indeed, as Bryan wrote, I also never heard of any plastic small 1/432 Cruver model of Italian planes...
So if GR has one, it has to be a really rare "test sample", never reproduced for big orders: GR, have you been able to check this once back to the US?
Thanks loads, Marco

I've never seen or heard of boxed sets of plastic Italian or Russian 1/432nds. I've seen two Russian planes - the PE-2 and SB-3. Have never seen Italian ones. What do you have? As with the Bronzart models, maybe they were produced to showcase the manufacturer's capability, yet never led to orders for boxed sets.
There are boxes for Italian and Russian 1/432nds made in metal by Comet. They aren't anything special, just heavy cardboard containers with Federal Stock No.'s on them.
