Italeri 2023

Post by keavdog »

From the modeling news. I want the Bugatti and the F-16 cockpit.

Some nice stuff in there.

I'd get the Hornet for the decals and use it on a different Hornet kit. After having done their F-16 Falcon "Special Colors" belly tank being too large, I'm leary of the same issues typical of Italeri. :bag:

I wouldn’t mind a couple of the 1/35 Italian AFVs and those 1/48 Italian fighters. :hmm:

I do like a number of those 1/72 scale aircraft with markings for countries that I do not have them in. 1/72 scale armor ain't getting the love though.

I agree about the cockpit. During my last couple aircraft builds, I was thinking that assembling and painting the cockpit was my favorite part of the build, so I wish I could get a kit of a highly detailed one. Looks like Italeri read my mind.

I will keep an eye on the Italian armor reviews, may splurge if they are decent. I also like the VW Golf cop car.

Throw the Hornets away. Just throw them away. Don't even fondle the plastic.
