Hi All,
I have started to build the italeri M-107 SPG,and intend to build it into an IDF version, I know about the IDF mod's and planning to add them. but the kit itself lacks alot in details,mainly plumbing but also existing details are simplified. i have picture (my own and from the net) and couple of TM's. Since i never did such work before i would like to get advice on where to start this project, for example:is it a good idea to remove all the molded details from the left & right turret "walls" and to add all the plumbing from wire...
Thanks for the advice

Consider purchase of Hobby Fan detail set for the M110A2 - is it not cheap but the quality is top-notch. And practically all parts can be used for M107!
Also get Eduard PE set for M107 - also extremely good stuff.
I have not used any of these sets, but I have one Italeri M107 and one M110A2 and I already bought one Eduard set and one HF set for each of these models

Thanks Vodnik
I know about these sets, I want to scratchbuild this one. and BTW i saw the HF set and even if it's a huge improvent over the kit part,is still missing some details. Not that i wont be happy if i'll get to this level by scratchbuilding.
