M923 Hillbilly Gun Truck????


I'm seriously thinking of buying this one ......... But, I've never ventured into an "Italieri" kit .......... It has some very mixed reviews good and bad and there seems to be a bit of a concensus that their aircraft are good but their vehicles are a bit lacking. ........ It is supposedly a recent / new mould ....... Does anyone have any experience with this kit or any other Italieri vehicles ????

I've done there 1/35 hummer Peter not a bad kit at all. To be honest with your skills you should have no problems

Thanks Ian ............ I guess it's another one for my stash then. I really need to stop buying the damn things and get on and build some ........... The trouble is I keep stumbling over bargains

Ive built 3 old kits from them 2 maultiers and a horch, all had wonderful fit so no complaints from me. Oh there was an issue of the rubber from the tyres melting the plastic sprue but it was a 70's kit and i had no idea of how it was stored.

Peter, I recently done a "Tamiya Boxed" Self Propelled Howitzer, Which was a Re-boxed Italeri kit & was well pleased with the kit.

Italeri kits have always been good quality in my opinion. Ive built a bunch and never had any problems. Only thing to lookout for is that Italeri imports for zvesda. Meaning the box may say Italeri on it but in the bottom corner it may say zvesda. If that's the case then stay away but if its truly made by Italeri then it should be a great kit.

Thanks Chris ............... As far as I can see from the photos it's 100% Zvesda free ........ Just waiting on the postman to drop kick it over the gate.

Well its definitely a cool kit , I ve seen this one a lot on ebay and have many times considered throwing a bid on it. Anything gonna towed behind it? [ATTACH]104073.IPB[/ATTACH]

This is a genuine Italeri kit, I believe there were some accuracy issues with the original model of the M923 kit but if you are not a rivet counter it will be great, I have been tempted by this one for a while just not taken the plunge.
