Flak and Rockets

¹⁄35

Friday, November 22, 2013 - 11:48 AM UTC

There are two new releases on the way from Italeri, including a Maultier with a FlaK 38 and a rocket firing Sherman.

Italeri has announced the release of two kits. The list starts with the Maultier halftrack with a FlaK38 mounted on the bed, followed by the Sherman Calliope. While I believe the Maultier kit contains new parts, the Calliope is just a reboxing of the previously release kit from Italeri.

6519 – Kfz.3b Maultier with FlaK 38
288 – M3A3 Sherman Calliope

Now this is one that I can hobble together with three or four kits on hand but might as well drop the greenies for this one.

So, the flak is the same that comes with two other Italeri kits, but did they already do a V3000 Maultier?

For readers' info: the sample build of the M4A3 Calliope has some bizarre build mistakes. There should not be any hull side applique armor and the loader's hatch had no way to stay propped upright like that. (caveat: I've actually built samples for Italeri before...)

Hi Roy, I did not know that applique was rare on these but recall seeing some; there was at least one: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-r91C1TEYy6g/UXBaOW9xIfI/AAAAAAAAQ2o/jVB6P7Q-Quc/s400/Calliope%20with%20trailer.jpg However, I am a strong believer that "One freak does not a species make." These don't have applique but this image is great for all other detail: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Oh_yppnLObw/UXBRSsHOB4I/AAAAAAAAQ2I/lNeuroycM7Y/s1600/whiz-bang+T40.jpg
