I built that model a few months ago and most of my information came from the internet. It wasn't much. I also have a book on tanks that mentions the RSO PAK 40. I never found any mention of a radio.

Just in case you're interested Chad, a company btno "New Connection Models" has an update set for that model.

--# NC35111 Upgrade set for Italeri RSO w/PAK40 conv. $37.00

I was hoping to see a picture of the set thinking by chance they would show a picture of it with a radio but, the page for their products in down till after Easter...so the site says.

Here's their homepage: ...will check later in the week.

I built the Italrei RSO pak 40 a few month ago, and was very diappointed. It is a very old kit (at least 20 years) and has a lot of flash and sink holes to be filled. The tracks are horrible so I went the extra nine a picked up Model Kasten's workable tracks which cost $29.95 (more then the kit itself). I also picked up a gun barrel from jordy rubio, beacuse the seam lines in the kit barrel would take to famn long to correct. I also did research on the Pak40 and no, there is not a radio.

Chad,
I just checked the New Connections site. The item number is 35111, looks like new engine cover, drivers hatch, and gun compartment floor pieces. Price is 35.50EUR.
