But if you preordered the Germans at the same time, you will have to wait, right ?

I did that, so how long to wait for me ?

No, you won’t have to wait for the Germans to come out.  FMG is shipping ALL their orders of the Italian units as soon as they get them.  So you should also be getting your Italian units in the next couple of weeks or so. 
You are probably referring to the saving on shipping if you order Italy and Germany in the same order, right?  FMG offered that as sort of a little bonus for everyone that placed a pre-order for Germany and helped to move this project along.  So, basically, you are paying one shipping cost now which will cover the Italians when FMG gets them and ships them to you.  When Germany is finished, since you have already placed a pre-order, they will basically be shipped to you for free.

The Aquila class CV with the OOB CV. The wider flight deck is really great for faster game play. Planes set on there easier. Thanks so much Jeremy for all your efforts. It has been some kind of project! And now it really is on the way.

Yes they are.  Check out this pic Jeremy shared a few months back.  The King Tigers are the pre-production molds that are submitted for approval before the factory commits to making the mould.  Final pieces will be grey.

Painted my pieces avocado green to distinguish them from the russians.  This is a close match to the green used by Avalon Hill in Axis & Allies Revised for their UK units.  I liked the colour (but not on the UK units) and thought it to be pretty good for the Italians.

I used Krylon avocado green fast dry.
