Overall a nice model. Not as detailed as some but easy to put together and well worth the $20 I paid.
Not quite finished but the following pictures show the structure of the Italeri kit straight out of the box.

But that is the best thing. Less detail, more work required. That is how I enjoy my model building. Now I seen your kit, and it looks amazing. I want to buy one now.


Cheers,
Tom

It looks even better with the Dragon Pak38 / Pak40 towed behind it!

I have the Dragon PaK38 but not something to tow it... min I have the Demag D7 with PaK38 mounted to build - if it comes out half as good as this I will be happy....

All these look good. I decided not to add any scratch building with mine so i could see the overall effect of the Italeri mold process...there are not many company's (Excluding resin) putting out models that are lifelike right from the box, but Italeri is getting better. On another note Bronco is really stepping up their molding process these last few years.

Hey Tom
If you want to detail the Italeri kit out,visit Chris Hughes site ,he has lots of detailed shots and has a CD/downloadable version also for the Sdkfz.10.
