What no option to mount it in the load bed?



And the old disintegrating tyres too?

Hi

Good news for all those wanting one but found ebay sales too expensive.

I guess the Breda might come from Italeri, as Tamiya has links with previous kits.

The price quoted on the linked site is around twenty euros which sounds a good price as well. Although you are going to have to add in new front wheels to the equation or maybe they've changed the tyres compound.

As regards mounting the gun on the load bed, is that going to be difficult to achieve if you wanted to make it so?

typical after selling organs to buy one on ebay they re-realise it

although having seen the current prices of some new kit releases the ebay one may still turn out to be a bargain I just could not believe some of the prices at the Cosford model show being asked by the traders for some of the new kit they had, I was even told that one trader was looking to get out of the hobby as the profit margins were now so low it just wasn't worth it any more.

cheers

This will please a lot of folks. I got both kits already so won't be on my buy list.
