Italeri 1/72 plastic tank kits
« on: 12 August 2010, 06:22:16 PM »
Hi All

Sometime ago i bought for my kid an Italeri box with 2  T34 tanks in it . These consists of only a few parts ( less then 10 ). Now I want to get sme more for my self but I only find kits with loads of parts . Nice for a modeller but not for me . Can somebody point me out wich kits are only in few parts ( less is better )


thanks
Albert

I am not sure about the Italeri kits, but if you do a search for Armorfast, or Pegasus, they both have kits with very few parts in 1/72.  Pegasus does some great trucks, armor fast has good servicable armor.  We bought a bunch of the soviet stuff fo rour big Berlin Game, they go together fast, I think they are only like 6 parts.  The pegasus trucks might have been 10 or 12 pieces, but looked really good...


Bydand!!

Hi,

the "easybuild" kits have a yellow band on the left and on top beneath the Italeri logo, as well as a symbol in the upper left corner ("2x Fast Assembly Kit", with two white tank silhouettes). If you use the keywords "Italeri" and "Fast Assembly Kits", you should fine some.

Apart from Italeri, some of the aforementioned Armorfast kits are excellent, while others are not that good (but it's mainly with respect to detail, size and proportion, less than ease of assembly).

Russian firm "ZVEZDA" has begun a new series of models 1/72. Models gather without glue! But thus look very well.

Look here:

To see the assemblage scheme, press the box image.

thanks , i now know what to look for at my loco retailer

I wasn't aware of the zvesda models nor the pegasus models. Must say the Italeri website is not very clear on this.
