• MR. PANZER: (http://henk.fox3000.com/ricardi.htm) very good casting and interesitng items; I owe: Lancia Aprila Coloniale a very nice tiny kit and Fiat Ansaldo 90/53 SP another very good kit but not so easy to build
• MARS: (http://www.mars.strefa.pl/ang/1-72/ita.htm) top notch, high quality, many parts, not for beginners; I owe: Lancia 3RO with 90/53, Lancia3RO with 100/17 and CL39 Coloniale, all very vell detailed (may be too many small parts), see also http://www.smallscaleafv.com/ section Reviews&Previews or http://www.onthewayuk.com/kitlists/marskit.htm for a 3RO’s analysis and http://italie1935-45.aceboard.fr/97185-1703-7005-0-Autocannone-Lancia-Mars.htm for a 3Ro with 90/53’s wip
