I don't know anything about these kits. Sorry. But wanted to jump in and welcome you to the forum.

Oh, if the Italeri Nebelwerfer is one you're looking for, Great Models has it online for $6, I think. Good luck, and welcome, again.

Italeri also reissued the rso tractor and the nebelwerfer, but not as one kit like peerless did,

I built the Dodge Command Car years back...a fun build and a good kit.

Peerless Max 155mm M1A1 howitzer is still in production by Italeri (on & off). I've got both variants, the original Peerless Max one had metal barrel, working recoil and vinyl tires. Italeri one has simplified plastic parts in place of metal/vinyl ones, but essentially the same kit.

The Italeri reissues are pretty good builds as Robert has said. I built a couple of the old Peerless kits a long time ago and they were okay. The plastic was a little brittle as I recall and they had metal axles that ran through the plastic axles.

Some have been re-issued every now and then by Italeri. To the best of my knowlegde they have released the CMP Cab 13 FGT, CMP Cab 13 truck, White Armoured Car, and all of the Dodge WC series vehicles. I found them to still be a decent build.

Did they have the High Speed Tractor .... hmmmm ... don't remember that.
Happy Modelling and God Bless Robert

Sorry, can't help with your question, as I'm not sure. I know that I am looking for their high-speed tractor, which, if what you say is true, would be great.
However, welecome to the forum!

peerless/max kits reissued?
Posted by painterdave on Monday, April 12, 2004 5:21 PM
have these kits been reissued recently? If so are they as well molded as the originals? Do the original issues have any value? Thanks for your help.
