Love the Old School Italeri!

It's actually better than I expected it to be.

The Mk,. III version of this is one of Italeri's golden age kits, ca. late 1970s/early 80s. It has a number of accuracy issues, but like the Leopard 1A4, M47, M4A1 Sherman, etc. it's a much more refined kit than what they released in the 90s, that put plenty of people off Italeri. I never built one myself, but my best friend as a teenager did, and I kind of still want one — but when would I actually build it? 🙁

Ive been looking at this kit for a while but im scared to buy it incase its bad quality and or has a lot of issues. Is it worth buying? Also very nice build so far

Which kind of issues do you mean? Accuracy problems, difficult fit, something else? Because Italeri kits generally fit pretty well, and like I said above, their kits of the age of their original Crusader were very good for their time. This is that same kit, but with a new turret to represent a Mk. II instead of a Mk. III.

Mainly just fit problems, under/over scaled stuff, flash and low quality plastic. Having had built multiple Italeri sets ive seen how the plastic quality differs from set to set

Looking good, following. 👍

Kesa, the fit was alright, and there wasn't any flash as far as I can tell. It's a very simple kit which can be put together quickly.
If you want to play with individual track links, go for Border one, but I wasn't convinced it was worth the price.
