Really? I built one many decades ago, Italaerei (note the original spelling of the brand) released it in 1972. I was at least ten so I built mine after 1975:

This is the step that confused me. Both sides have the same numbered parts 47/48/51/52 (difference is the shape after it) to differentiate the glider from the motorized version:

Cool! Another rather esoteric issue!
Some of us still await the Academy 1/72 Consolidated B-32 Dominator. "Hobo Queen" would be dandy! The Tamiya Warbird series 1/72 Grumman Tigercat?

Yeah I thought they were neat aircraft but passed on the Italeri kit years ago. Something about it just said "don't bother". I think it has been released by someone in 1/48th which would be neat. Put it with the 1/48th Ju52 in a diorama.
