Hi All again,

Why do i see much more Italeri or different Dodges around, than "Skybow"s !?
Do u think because it has 10.345.000 parts !?!? And/or its more accurate than all
others ? :-)

I think it´s a matter o price, since the Italeri is cheaper than the Skybow, and also it´s on the market for a longer time.....

The Italeri Dodge kits have been around for decades. They started out life as Peerless Max kits. Comparing them to Skybow kits are like comparing Tamiya's old Willys MB Jeep to their brand new one or their old Schwimmwagen to the new Type 166. Try a Skybow kit, you will not be disappointed.

Skybow have the Dodge WC 51- 4 X 4, WC62/63 - 6 X 6 & dodge command car. It is twice the price of the Italeri ones which were released by Airfix back in 1975.

As an OOB build you cannot beat the Skybow Kits.

And don't forget the EXCELLENT WC-56/57 "Beep"... wow.. that was a nice little model!.

Skybow is lightyears ahead of the old Peerless/Max/Italeri/Testors kits.

Later.
