This kit was started with a lot of excitement and finished with huge disappointment. The kit is pretty basic - its an old kit but built up nicely - the disappointment here and where I still didn't learn my lesson, don't worry I've learnt [...]
My next build was one for the 100 Years of Aeronautica Militare (the Italian Air Force) and I decided to do one of the Frecce Tricolore ponies. It is an old mould I really wish somoene would bring the MB339 out in an updated moulding, but [...]
So I started this build with what seems to be a prophecy, I said this in my build log:

Well when I saw this awesome desert vehicle with that daunting camoflage I just had to attempt it - My 1st 1/35 scale vehicle and man was I impressed with Italeri. What a great kit.
Started with assembly on the drive train and the body [...]
Ah sci fi - I love it - the ability to go wild and it doesn't matter what you do.
