New - Italeri Carro Armato P40

Just saw this one in stock at LuckyModel



Look like a nice Italian/Beute tank The kit come with a small PE fret, a metal barrel and one of those cool Italeri color pamphlet. Oh! and the price is rather ok ($29 before shipping).

I have no idea why but i really want one of these,no idea what to do with it but cant wait for mine to arrive at the local model shop

Oh yes, the beautiful P40.... only few were built before the armistice and then production went on for german army.... This new kit from Italeri is much expensive here in Italy: 38 €.... , considering it's an italian brand it would be less expensive than abroad.

Cheers

Nicola Pignato (isn't he a doctor) has published an Italian language book on this very tank. Excellent reference material.

Regards,

Yes, I know.... Very interesting like others Pignato's books.

Hi guys,

Just received this kit, it's a lot bigger than your "average" Italian AFV. The moulding quality is quite good being a brand new kit and the link and length track is especially well done. Friul have also just released a set of metal tracks for the kit if you prefer to upgrade? Set No. ATL100, available now from Blast Models (sorry shameless plug)

Comes with a metal barrel and some etched bits but I've not yet played with it so can't comment on fit etc. but it does have a certain appeal, that's for sure and should make an impressive model.

As with other recent Italeri kits it comes with its own small reference book with many good close-up walk around type pics of the P40 as well as wartine shots.
