Finished work on the new Italeri kit over at the RA GB! Thought I would share it so you all could have a look.
Not quite on the level of a Tamgawa kit it goes together easy enough. Looking for a simple build all I added was a pilot figure.
The only thing that was really tricky was to get the decals not to silver on the Italian Olive dark color. That takes a bit of work. Other than that it was an enjoyable kit that looks good when done OOB. The decals are of great quality though just a lot of clear carrier on the Italian wing symbols which is unavoidable.
I paid $28 on pre-order for it and have been told it has been seen costing much more. Even reboxed by Tamiya with a pilot figure and oil barrels added to double the price. The Manual included is awesome 47 pages with any detail you would want and schematics on every system. A super detailers dream but know that there is no PE or resin or spectacular parts count to justify to high a price tag in my eyes. Shop around.
Thanks for looking!
