Italeri Group Build Sept. 1, 2006-Jan. 15 2007

Just got my kits UPS today and as this is my very first armor build as well as my first Italeri purchase, I couldn't wait...so I opened both the Humvee and the M1A2 and I am impressed with the quality of both kits. I think I'm going to re-mark the Hummer with Iraqi Police markings (my son is over there and has sent me some photos), and maybe build the tank oob.

Can't wait to start!!

I've read the review for my build, and it's totally positive! All i'm gonna' need for it, is some PE latches! Oh, and maybe a new set of resin rims!

I'll definately be buyin' some more Italeri kits, after i've done this one!

Great Dwight, I'll add it to the main page. If you decide on something different, I'll change it.

Only 8 days to go!

We have great variety here too, hardly any dupes. By the time were done, I'm sure some of us will be picking up more Italeri kits.

Hi Eric,

I am still in but I am currently busy and yet without a kit. However, I am thinking of doing the RSO with a PAK 40. I may not start on time, though as I still am in the process of completing a diorama and 2 kits.

But I am always reading the GB thread.

Very good gentlemen.

Would anyone care to submit an idea for a Group Badge? Of course it should contain the Italeri logo as the prominent theme. Thanks.

Good!

I'll be there with the Soviet 122 mm howitzer, pictures will be posted here :

and the Soviet 120mm mortar, pictures will be posted here :

I just realized that I have the week off and it is Labor Day week, so I thought I (we) could get a bit done.   That's fine with me,  my fingers were itching

Sooner the better.  Two extra weeks on an Italeri kit is always good.  :)

Yeah, with those injection pin marks on the inside of my gunshield and other places, I could use the time. Compared to a Dragon super-kit, there is probably less than 150 pieces in this kit.

Glad that it works out for you Ron.

I'd like to jump in on this... building Italieri's 1/35 Stinger HMMWV (will probably modify to the USMC experimental AMRAAM ground launcher aka HUMRAAM) and Italeri's 1/35 LAV-25 Piranha.  Will update with the variant when I check the references after work..

Well, count me in, also.

I've been modeling for a long time, but never done armor before. How'd THAT happen ?

I'll be building either an M1A2 or HUMVEE...maybe both.

Yes, it looks quite interesting. Nice to see something different.

Welcome to the forums and GB Cattledog. Got you down.

Thanks Ron, got it down.

hi guys, well originally i had been leaning towards the zis-5 russian truck but,,, turns out this is a reboxed zvesda kit so i decided instead on the panther ausf.d, im not sure if i will use the kit tracks yet, tracks are my biggest gripe with italeri kits they are so hard and inflexible so i may find replacements the rest i will try keep as much oob as possible.

welcome to the forums and groupbuild comet and cattledog.
