Feel very unproductive. Hopefully the tracks arrive in the next day or two. I have no idea what I'm getting into.

Ernest - If you plan on building more Italian armour, then go for it. Otherwise I'd agree that it's pricey for some pretty simple decals. The Zvezda kit is made from the Italeri molds, but who knows where the decals were printed - they do seem to be identical to what the original kit offered. If you anticipate problems, give the decals a clear coat beforehand.
By the way, this kit (as well as the Tamiya one) are really the M14/41. So if you've got money burning in your pockets maybe consider the M13/40 upgrade kit. Differences are pointed out in the Armorama review of the Zvezda kit
regards,
Jack
Well, I'm frugal Ernest. I wouldn't pay that much for a few decals. My Tamiya ones shattered and Panzerwaffe sent me Italeri decals. They went on very well and look great. I think you won't have any issues, just trim close if possible on the excess decals.
Good for you Eric! A happy marriage is definitely a joy to have!
Regarding the Zvezda M-13/40.....anyone have an opinion on the kit decals? They look better than the usual Italeri decals, but marking options are limited to three: Italian, German and Australian. I definitely want to depict it as used by the Italian army. I'm tempted to get a Model Victora decal set that I've been eyeing in eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/180834803542?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
Its kinda pricey at $17.00, especially just for the one kit I have, but if the kit decals are problematic I may have to splurge!

LOL, no me. I've been on wife two for almost 17 years, 10 happily.
Ernest, that means third wife will be the keeper.
No full hull shots till she's completed.Unfortunately you people are stuck with boring stuff like this.
TD, man that is looking so cool! Luv all the detailing, but that full shot is such a teaser!!
Eric, sorry those Friuls didn't work out. I'm interested in how my set will work for me. I've put together some King Tiger Friuls, but those were huge compared to these tiny links! I'm glad you were able to get those MV tracks; you know what they say about the third time......

Well, I gave up on the Friuls. I was able to order a set of the Model Victorias that Jack mentioned from a seller on another site. I should have them in about a week. Lots of inactivity on my part. Maybe I'll start another kit.

Incredibly,the PE I've used so far is minimal compared to the REAL ship guys.
Hats off to you with all that PE work - I myself have a love hate relationship with PE. It's really coming together.
Current progress.The ladder on the mast and railings on the back of the superstructure are details I noticed in reference photos.Once you see it,you can't unsee it or ignore it.I had to add 'em.
Hey guys, have been lurking and just wanted to say that there is some wonderful work going on in here. Keep it up
Rob
Thanks,but there is still plenty left to do.I found several more details to add.The ladder on the mast is one of them.
Lookin' good TD!
