I see Italeri has "announced" on their website a re-booted version of their 1/24 Landrover, this time a military version with machine gun. Looks kinda cool...

Good news indeed. However, when I looked at the sprue shot, it appears to only come with one MG. The old Esci Para version in 1/24 had two. (Which is really why I'd buy it) Hopefully though, the MG will be sharper than the older ones, and possibly without ejection pin marks in the receiver.

There's been a little talk of this on the other forums. Is it a reissue, repop, or new mold with changes?

Some said the ESCI kit of this was only so-so to "okay" in quality. The ESCI Para version had the only 1/24 L7A2s, correct?

There's also the 1/24 Italeri Toyota Land Cruiser with L7A2 on the rollbar.
