      A`noon Chaps,
      Well,after deciding to branch out the stash to include a more diverse look,nationality wise,i`ve bought way too many kits in the last 3-4 weeks!!:anguished:,
      HOWEVER,this Italian offering has jumped right to the top of my "wanna do next" list,i`ve been wanting one for quite a few years now,and they`re pretty hard to come by! I admit to getting caught up in a bit of an EBay Bid fest,but i got one at last!
      The box is rammed with bits,i`m going to start blogging it shortly,so you`ll see what i mean then.
      In the mean time,here`s the Italian`s answer to the LRDG problem that they were experiencing in Africa..........

              Really? I bought one of these (the same version as yours, with the extra resin parts) new in a shop last year. Not built it yet, but I think Iโ€™ve also seen it since in the other shop in my almost-local area that stills sells kits.

              Iโ€™ll keep an eye out, because I also would like to build it one of these days

                    Hi Jakko,
                    Really? You`ve obviously got much better shops to hand than me! I also saw that most of the places i looked at on line were out of stock too.........guess it`s just a place of "Right place,Right time"!

                      Probably more luck than anything else. Neither of the two is really a model shop, and I got this kit with a good discount when one of them was selling off all its non-Revell stock last year.

                        It's down as discontinued on Italeri.com , might explain it being hard to come by.
                        It was something i was looking to make, an idea of making a diorama based on scenes from a clive cussler novel.

                            I just checked too, and indeed, both versions are OOP. I had expected the deluxe kit (like The Smythe Meister and I both have) to be, but not the regular one. Odd, it seems like the kind of vehicle that would be popular to build for non-Italians too.
