In context it means that the kit is from Italeri.

I am not sure I understand. There other previous large scale ships were very nice and well made. They partnered with several experts to make there pt109 kit. There pt596 includes a color walk around guide in the box for free. So I have no worries about this offering. I don't understand the bad wrap that italeri gets they have brought us subjects no one else will bother with. There dukw boats are one of my favorite kits due to subject and ease of build.
