Now that I have set you off head scratching. Just a quikie history, Pavesi were founded in 1914, were later incorporated into Fiat, and were used by Italian, German and Hungarian forces in WW2. There is plenty of reference material online for the history officianados which makes good reading.

So this is the beast, and is being built as part of my contribution to the MAFVA Nationals in 2020. I originally bought this kit as I was looking for something to do with WW1, little realising that it was in fact produced a lot later.
So what do you get in the box... Resin - loads of resin, and some brass etch along with different lengths of steel rod, a cd to entertain you, and help you on your way with the construction if the paper instructions are not enough. The cd also has photo's of the real machine.

Plus the usual instruction booklet... Well illustrated.

I was thinking diorama for the model to sit in, but once I had been through the instructions and looked at the detail that is in the vehicle I decided that a plain base with just a patch of earth in the middle for the vehicle to stand on would allow the viewer to look at the detail rather than take their eye away from the vehicle - but then I thought, no to a wood base and decided on this....

It still has the protective film on both sides hence the blue colour. But more of this later.
Now it is on with the build, loads of washing to start with to get rid of the release agent, so all the resin parts are going to sit in a bowl of water that has had a good dose of washing up liquid in it for a couple of days, much to SWMBO's chagrin - I do like bubbles in my water, a good long squirt and she is howling at the moon... :flushed: and the emoji just about captures the look....
So more later as the build progresses.
