Hi Patrick.
The Revell/Italerei kit can be build in a nice model, I've seen several of them. But I build both the Tamiya and Italerei kits and I think it to be 'false economics', especialy when you invest in aftermarket tracks and PE too, to save on the base kit as the Tamiya offering is realy light years ahead of the Italerei/Revell offering. Both in detail as in buildability [if this is a correct English word ;-)] I would advise to save your 'pocketmoney' a little longer and buy Tamiya's leopard 2A6 kit [btw. it still contains the 'short' 120mm barrel, so a 2A5 can be build too]. It has not though the 'Dutch' parts of the Italerei kit, but these are not all parts that are needed to make a correct Dutch conversion anyway.
Cheers,
Alex |
