Italeri have updated one of their older kits with some new additions which may appeal to some and this time around it is the U.S. Armoured Gun Truck.

I'm just glad they reissued it in any form. They were getting hard to find. Even all of the PX's I visit had been out for years, and you could usually count on finding them there. Now folks have something to put those Legend upgrades on.

This one is a big letdown. The actual factory guntruck that they originally posted as the upcoming vehicle would have been a great kit.
This one:
From looking at the sprue pics posted, they haven't fixed anything on the truck. It is just a mix of their previous M923 and M925 kits with the added parts for the armored box, another .50 cal, and a the gunshield and mount for the rear .50 cal, all added onto the wheel sprue from their M923A1 kit (below). It also looks like there are some basic parts for the wheels to make it an M923A2 (w/CTIS) truck.
I'm not impressed at all. I'll stick with building my own or wait to see what Legend comes out with.

Couldn't agree more...
I will probably buy it, but it was a big disappointment.
And where's the Lince!!!
