John Van KootenJust a heads up on this kit:
The sprues are 100% identical to the Italeri #6502 kit, except the sprues from this "new" kit are suffering from a lot more flash compared to the #6502 kit! At least, on the sprues I have seen so far. Looks like quality control has left the building on this one.
Also, this new kit does NOT contain the metal barrel and transparent sheet for the driver's hatch protection. And obviously the decals have been replaced with ones specifically targetting WoT.
If you want to build a true WWII M24 Chaffee, do yourself a favor and buy Italeri kit #6502 (it really IS a nice kit!). If you need the WoT decals then you (c)(sh)ould get this one. But other than that, the #6502 is the better kit.
John Van KootenYou're welcome, Michaël 👍
By the way, I can only assume the other WoT kits released by Italeri are following a similar pattern. But I can't verify that because I don't have those kits, or the ones they are based on. So I'll have to reserve judgement on those.
