Dave Schmid of Armaments In Miniature expedited the mold work to produce this Breda Ba-88, Italian heavy fighter-bomber for me.
It's not listed on his page yet, but you can likely email him and ask for it if you wish.
The Ba-88 Lince (Lynx) met expectations as long as it wasn't carrying weaponry or ordnance. Fully loaded, it was a dog in the air and went through repeated attempts to make it a reasonable addition to the Regia Aeronautica. I read one source that said that the aircraft were later used as airfield decoys!
Most of its action was in the Med in the early war, so up against Gloster Gladiators and other second-line aircraft.
Still, it's always nice to have some variety on the table.
