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

Some nice stuff in there.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Re: Italeri 2023
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.

Re: Italeri 2023
I wouldn’t mind a couple of the 1/35 Italian AFVs and those 1/48 Italian fighters.

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.

We are modelers - the same in spirit, in hunger to insanely buy newly released kits, hustlers in hiding our stash from our better halves and experts in using garbage as replacements for after-market parts.

Re: Italeri 2023
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.BlackSheep214 wrote: ↑Sat Jan 28, 2023 8:24 pm I'd get the Hornet for the decals and use it on a different Hornet kit.
