I love those older Italieri kits. I especially loved their Panther A with zimmerit. My very first kit with zimmerit already on the parts. Keep up the great work with your videos and channel.
Hi, I am currently finishing this kit. What is your opinion of the size/difficulty of the assembly of some smaller parts. Best/worst examples are the smoke dischargers, particularly the x6 no.109 "barrels" (parts 108/109/110/111/112-D), or the 24x tiny track link "C" clips (part 23-E)? I didn't mind the hatch handles but I thought the above were crazy small particularly with no guide holes, much effort, easily . What about the 4x track hanging of both sides of the turret, the single tiny contact/glueing point make them easy to break off, a lug w/ socket would help, like the tiny but easily glued hatch handles.
Funny Italeri #286 story. I stopped making kits when I had kids. This was the last kit I made 25yrs ago. For my last birthday my now adult daughter got me a kit, by total fluke this one. Spooky!
Italeri is know to have tiny parts. At one time, Italeri was a less expensive option to some of the other manufacturers, but that doesn't seem to be the case these days.
Just great! The old kits makes the modelers more creative like this specific one. 👍👌👏

Great video and presentation.
Thank you!
I have the exact same model! Also still in the box. Greetings!
