*******Gawd! That's right! I totally forgot! Must be gettin' old!

Are these releases still without any detail on the back side ? Never did have any luck filling them with plaster and scribbing in the brick detail

...no detail inside, unfortunately. Especially troublesome for the one sided bricked-in doorway.....

I may be wrong, but I do not remember the original work having a partially bricked in doorway? I may be wrong however...

It's still a good kit.The only problem is that it's one-sided.

I have one from the 80s, and the door was bricked in.

Yes, I have a 1970's era box with the "old" spelling "Italieri" and it has a bricked in door. Maybe you're thinking of the Church window kit? It has a similar pillar thingy but a big window and extra corner, or maybe the old house corner kits? I should have mentioned also there was a two storey corner with an open door, but it's been out of production for years. Maybe I can find the box!

Plaster and resin molds are not the same thing as injection mold toolings. Totally different processes. I built both the Italeri church door and church window kits about 10 years ago when I got into the hobby first. The biggest issue is that unlike the Miniart kits today, they have no backing so you have fill them or cement plastic sheet to them to fill them out.

I’m playing around with one of these as we speak. Testors used to box several of the Italeri kits together in their “Diorama accessory sets” I found this Church corner while digging through some boxes that where at my parents house from my childhood. I didn’t like the hollow back side, so I filled the back with automotive body filler (Bondo) yesterday. The smooth back side wont be a problem as long as the building is used as a backdrop. Now I’m trying to think of ideas for a small vignette to use this on.
