I got the Italeri Elefant Kit No. 211 for christmas and wanted to take it further with some AM detail sets. After checking Great Models I saw that Eduard makes a super set that comes with almost everything I want: exterior photo-etch details, zimmerit, aluminum gun barrel, and wheel mask. The only problem is that it is listed for the Dragon kit. Does anyone know if it will fit on the Italeri kit? And does “exterior PE” include fenders? This would seem to gove me the best bang for my buck.
Sucks about the zim not fitting as the super set is on sale and I was hoping for a good savings. Maybe I’ll use this excuse to try doing my own zimmerit.
I’ll still probably get an AM Barrel and tracks though. Thinking about the Hobby Boss indy tracks. Can’t afford fruilmold.
You could always shave the bolts off, and replace them in the correct position after applying the Zim [;)] I don’t know if Dragon and Italeri’s Elephant are the dimensions though, that could cause another problem…
AM tracks and barrel would definitively be an improvement.
I doubt there is one for the old Italeri Elefant. It’s one of those kits from the 80s that was bypassed by the Dragon releases in 99-00 and updated recently. Kind of a “throw good money after bad” situation.
If there is or was an old PE set, On The Mark or Airwaves may have made one.
