Some pics in from Dave on his latest effort, the Italeri 6 Rad in 1/35 scale.
One of the things I like about Dave is his brutal honesty...
"Possibly one of the worst kits ever made".
"I am not even sure that the parts were made for a model!!!"
"This kit and I fought for weeks and I am glad it's over. It was lucky not to be shoved head first back into its box on a number of occasions"
Here is the box lid to ID and avoid. I think he did a bang up job actually. Cheers Dave.
Looks great to me??
ReplyDeleteVery nice!! Me like it a lot! ;)

I think some of these Italeri kits are knocking on a bit - I remember having a few (Pz 38t, Hetzer) in the '70s - which might explain it. Are you in competition with Dave to find the worst kits?
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful and big.
ReplyDeleteThe 1/72 version I built without any effort, anyway it's possible italeri did enlarge his 1/72 thing to 1/35, instead of doing vice-versa, that would explain all the troubles Dave encountered. Good job though, even more because of the efforts!
ReplyDeleteWoah, I bet that would look epic in real life.
ReplyDeleteGood work, Paul - nice one!
ReplyDeleteWell, the 1/72 version is meant to be fine to assemble, according to http://www.onthewaymodels.com/
ReplyDelete...weird!
