And at least the serials of the Desert Jags are the correct white, instead of black like in their initial boxing. Cheers, Andrr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fightersweep Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Must say, I'm tempted by that Jaguar as there's at least three of those schemes I'd like to do. Is that Italeri's own plastic, or is it the Hasegawa plastic? I'm not familiar with this kit. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to go and find some reviews to see if it's any good. Looks quite similar to the Hasegawa kit on the sprues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks quite similar to the Hasegawa kit on the sprues. The general parts layout is similar, but the sprue arrangement is not though. I assume the Hasegawa Jag to be older than Italeri's. A polybag cooperation between Hasegawa and Italeri would also be something new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must have been confused with Italeri kits ending up in Tamiya boxings or something. I get the impression from the build reviews I just read that the Italeri Jaguar would be a nice kit if it fitted together ok. Sounds like a bit of a bear to build.

Creepy Pete Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 (edited) Italeri has reboxed Hasegawa kits in recent years, a few 1/48 WW2 prop planes like Mustang and Typhoon spring to mind. But this Jaguar is Italeri's own indeed. Personally I find it a bit meh on the accuracy department, but it looks like a Jaguar in the end.

The aft lower fuselage section between the ventral fins gave me the most trouble. Mind you, the same goes for the Hase kit...

[...] Thanks, as 1/48 is not my focus, I must have neglected that. I only knew of reboxes of old Esci (of course as they were acquired by Italeri), Kinetic, Heller (CL-415) and recently Fujimi toolings by Italeri.

IT_Man Posted November 7, 2021 Author Share Posted November 7, 2021 (edited) Spotted this Monte Cassino set the other day, not seen it mentioned elsewhere. Would imagine the Abbey takes up a fair bit of space! https://www.models2u.co.uk/contents/en-uk/p16698_Battle-of-Monte-Cassino---Diorama-Set.html Not entirely sure where the Polish Infantry figs come from, anyone got any ideas? (EDIT: Looks like the Esci set of Commonwealth Infantry from looking at Italeri website, strange choice!)

(EDIT: Looks like the Esci set of Commonwealth Infantry from looking at Italeri website, strange choice!) They're certainly ambitious with these diorama sets. All you need is to build a 1/72 mountain to perch it on - I can't help thinking of the huge model of Devils Tower which Richard Dreyfuss makes in his sitting room in 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind' ! 😀 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IT_Man Posted November 8, 2021 Author Share Posted November 8, 2021 Yes, some of them are pretty sizable - got half an eye on the Reichstag set, but need to build an extension first 😆 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robertone139 Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 (edited) The same ol’crappy kit with the wrong and too wide windscreen.

That box art and the 'Death Rattlers' scheme on the 'super decal' sheet is drawing me in. And I have a pot of (probably not quite the right shade) blue paint that needs using up. 😄 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to unfortunately agree, and I'm also Italian, Italeri have been resting on their catalogue of old kits for too long. Some of them may have been nice or even very nice for their days but the competition has moved on a lot in the meantime while the company does not seem to be interested in replacing their old stuff. I can understand that as long as the older kits keep selling well enough they may want to keep reboxing them, but thanks to this approach today Italeri is becoming less and less interesting for many modellers, with the exception of a few niches (their latest 1/32 kits are not bad). The last time I opened an Italeri box and really liked the content was with the 1/72 T-33.. that was a reboxed Platz kit, If Italeri want to become a distributor for Far East brands so be it, I'm happy to see more kits like that at the overall good prices for which Italeri offered them, but I'd like to see more new good stuff made in Calderara, not only reboxed Japanese kits. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
