Hi Pierric,
Can't help more than Dario. Ferreamole is usually my best Italian stuff source.
What about you super detailed VBCI ?

Happy New Year !

Hello Pierric

There is a very good book on the Ariete called

MBT ARIETE by Auriga Publishing International.

ISBN 88-88711-21-X

It is the best source of photographs for this tank.

It costs 15:00 Euro.

Hi Everybody;

I am really Happy too see this Topic, this kit was IMHO one of the Better Models too have hit the market at that time. As it did not gather that much fanfare, that it should have. The kit was a Fabulous Engineered model and went together like a dream. The Details were Outstanding, and the Tracks even tho in rubber were nice also. As far as being accurate, I cant speak about as I know little about this vehicle. I have Both version in my Collection and they are a nice addition, and look Great sitting next too my Bulls.

CHEERS; MIKE.

You are talking about the kit with or without add-on armor ?

Are you going to represent an Ariete in Irak ?

Thank you to you for your answers .....

My project is not yet on fire! but it is slightly started.

A reference Eduard and a horible turned metal gun shot, here to beautify this Italian monster! ...

This is the version without the armor kits, provided Iraq ...

He expects the Friul pads provided soon ...

Thank you again for your links I will keep you informed of the progress of this project!

Olivier Le VBCIs is paused, I expected photos of details that did not come, this kit is decidedly cursed!! I finished one of AUF1 MENG and I will deliver!

I can resouhaiter you a very nice 2014 year you and your family ...

Pierric, you don't need to wait friul, Bronco released on 2009 a workable plastic set look for article AB3527.

Dario

Yes dario ................

But they are plastic! I do not think they bear the paine based White spirit!!

The metal it is insensitive to effects of white spirit!

Dario thank you again! but I might be falling for this reference bronco!

Dario thank you!
