The length of the fenders are apparently too short and the angle of the rear fender isn't steep enough. I tried doing a comparison and it really isn't that noticeable in my honest opinion.  Here's a link. http://www.network54.com/Forum/47207/thread/1239414747/Any+problems+with+Italeri%27s++232++6+rad

Looking really good. There looks like some nice detail on this kit. What is the issue with the fenders?

I like a good 'ol out of box build. It's a relaxing break between the intensive scratch builds and kitmash projects.

Have a little more progress made, assembled the wheels and had them dry fit.  I didn't want to mess around with the fender inaccuracy, I don't have the tools or resources to fix it, or even the know-how, I'll just go with what I got.  Next step is to add the details on the chassis.

Always have a soft spot for the early war gear and this one's no exception. Look forward to seeing the progress! Beer

Its nice to see something different, both the type of kit and the brand. I don't think there kits are the easiet, but isn't that part of the fun.

I'm glad someones excited about it.  The fit has been troublesome due to minor flash.  After assembling 240 links of track for my Neubau pin for pin I'm glad to be working on a armored car for a change.  More updates soon!

the doog

WOW, I can't EVER remember seeing one of these built up here?

I'll second that, and we don't see that many Italeri armour kits full stop. Now we have this and a Tiger. Luckly tracks is one thing you don't have to worry about.

I'll second the thumbs-up to Italeri with the caveat that they have the WORST rubber-band tracks in the industry.

Cool beans on this choice of a model.

I love Italeri even if they aren't up to par with some of the newer kits on the market. 

Neat subject. Too bad you're going with Poland markings otherwise you could join our Blitz in the West GB.

Here's an early armored car before the 8 rad afv's. I think I''m going to do Poland Invasion markings.
