Has anyone built this or know of any reviews of this model. It is an interesting subject, but is expensive because it comes with numerous resin and white metal parts. I have heard that it might not be the greatest. Can I get some advice here?

Thanks Jeff,
The one I'm talking about is the second one, different from the Alan kit.
All the reviews in that Missing Links page were absolutely brutal! I guess I won't be buying this kit with my own money, anyway. It's really too bad, because it's such a neat subject. Some guys suggest the Commanders or New Connection conversion kits for the Italeri Pz I. I have never come across these companies before, however.

Folgore...Isn't it a shame that all the really good subjects come from the really bad companies. I wanted to buy the Alan Grille....but I think I'll wait for the Tamiya Kit if it ever comes out. Jeff

Hi there

I bought the Alan Grille.
It looks nice in the box. I read all the reviews on ML and elsewhere.
It was selling for $14 at Squadron recently, and I figured it was worth a shot. The moldings look pretty clean, and the track links are very nice.

I think it's worth a shot! Of course you'll want to hear more when I actually start the kit!

Cheers
Andy
