                        Posted by Anonymous on Saturday, April 26, 2003 2:32 AM
                        I'm working on a jagdpanzerIV right now and besides being lazy and not putting the tracks on I also noticed that the upper boddy and the lower chassis don't line up well? this is more or less how the directions say to put it together, maybe I shouldn't build models on a 24 hour duty or it's the model? what do you guys think? anyone have a similar experiance?

                        Italeri makes some good kits,but.....I have learned in the past that one must stock up on filler and sandpaper before one builds Italeri.Same goes for the LAV-25 I'm working on.By the way,I used to be a 13 Foxtrot(F.O.).Arty rules!

                        Italeri don't have the best engineered models on the market...but that certainly doesn't make them unworkable. Sometimes it's wise to do a little test fitting to ensure the fit especially major hull pieces. Always be ready for a poor fit somewhere and keep the putty handy. Of course it could depend on which end of the 24 you were working on the model too.

                        I built the Ital. Jagdpanther and it wasn't too bad, there were some fit issues, but I built the older "cheaper" kit basically for practice.. I finally painted it and posted pics of it in my album.. It's on page 3-4 I think..

                        I have no complaints about any Italeri kits I've built, particularly fit or ease of build.

                        The engineering on the Italeri kits is something less than desirable, but, for the price they are fine. I have plenty of putty and sandpaper in my build box. Fit is always an issue with Italeri, but dealing with it is easy...quite contemplation, and a bottle of Jack.

                        If Jack helped me out I'd probably glue my hands to something if not together?
                        hehehe
                        Well at least now I know it's not me and the fact I built it while I was on a 24 hour duty. I just got about 3/4 of the way done with a tiger I last night on duty, tracks are really hard to do at around 3 in the morning when all you have to keep you up is the guy next to you and a ritter sport and a coke.

                        That's all well and good folks,but....These guys have been around for well over 20 years!One would think that they would re-think and re-tool after all that time.At any rate,the Lav-25 is coming along nicely!If I only could find an FS Number for the proper Desert Storm color!

                        Redleg.. You actually chip the paint off? Tell that to the Brit army boys. I must have at least 7-8 layers of paint on my Land Rover!

                        no no no , ours do to but what I meant was I can break a piece of or two and scan so someone can get a sample of the color.
                        although our vehicles could use a good sandblasting then a coat of paint, that's for sure!!!!!!!
