Honestly, Italeri kits were much better then similar old Tamiya kits. I do agree that the tracks are the weakest link, but they are at least detailed on both sides, unlike said Tamiya kit.

Thanks Gam and Ernest,

Ernest, yes it has the vinyl tracks. Armor is probably my weakest link in model building so I can use all the help you guys are willing to give. It may be some time before I'm as good as y'all in this area.

It does look like a quick fun little kit.

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

Oooh yeaah!!  For an oldie its not a bad kit.  Detail is pretty good and with some TLC it actually can be quite nice.  Does it still come with the hard vinyl tracks?  If so, those are probably the only downside of the kit.

Oh you should have fun with this Steve!

Italaerei? Yes before the name change. The 1960ish kit that's been in my stash for a few years.
I'm in an armor mood and will be starting this tonight. And since the Hurricane (parts issue) and AB (again, parts issue) are on standby it seems like a good time. I have been studying several YouTube vids on weathering and have a lot of ideas rattling around in my head. So, to step up to the next level, this will be my victim.
