This is the old Italari Panzer 38 (t) that I posted in the armor forum. It is my second entry for the barbarossa build.
I have finished the major parts of the hull and turret.

There are a couple of depressions in the lower hull sides that need to be puttyed and sanded

The fit of some of the bits was a bit fiddly. Some flash and injection marks to deal with. Got some glue on the front plate where it butts up against the part with the drivers visor and machine gun, that I was able to scrape off. #:-) Guess they call me "Lord Glue" for a reason

Took about 4 hours so far #:-) nifty little kit for a weekend build. Not too many peices. Waiting for a nice day so I can go outside and do some air brushing.

Coming along nicely selrach. This kit could join tamiya panzer II as a recommended kit for practicing new paint techniques or weathering. Cheap and quick to build!! I think IŽll have to pick this one up myself!!

Lord Glue,

A nice start, the 38(T) is a nice tank, trust with your painting skill, you should be able to create another nice piece of work for us.

Agreed, this is a nice little kit. I did it a few years ago and I think it got me an OOB award along the line.

Frank--couldn't agree more---I picked one of these up about a month back for about $9 USD, (a price our younger modeling friends can afford)>

As "Lord Glue" mentions its a very quick build, but with his painting skills, this one will turn out to be a winner.

Might need to watch out for excessive dry brush and also pay attention to proper lens color application though. #:-)
