Bennyg Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Hi fellas. This has been kicking around on Facebook. 1/24 Mercedes Benz Giga Space. Enjoy. http://www.italeri.com/news_scheda.asp?idNews=679 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bennyg Posted August 6, 2016 Author Share Posted August 6, 2016 I thought people would be pretty happy about a truck kit with this level of detail being released. Moebius set the standard in recent times, now italeri appears to be stepping up. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luc Janssens Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 (edited) It's a good thing that they abandoned the new concept thingy, and this truck proves that after the Iveco that they again moved to being a model kit company instead of a toy manufacturer.Seeing the pics take me back to the day that, I as a 12 year old, with the help of my dad, built their first 1/24th scale truck kit, the Volvo F12, time sure flew past since then.....

Luc Janssens Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 European trucks don't interest most of the North American truck builders. I always found it funny that North American truck kits were popular in Europe but not the other way around. No question this is a very impressive kit. Well done by Italeri. Wide open roads, modern cowboy's in a steel 400HP horse, that's why...Here in Europe truck drivers since the downfall of the iron curtain, over night became modern slaves, underpaid in a over legislated profession, (read hunted by police for fines) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 I'm not into trucks, but that looks like a spectacular model. If I was a model truck builder I'd be all over this thing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bennyg Posted August 8, 2016 Author Share Posted August 8, 2016 If this was a North American subject, such as a Freightliner, Peterbilt, Kenworth, Mack, etc, I would very much be looking forward to it. I do wonder if Italeri would consider an all new American truck with the same level of detail, that would be something to build.That's what I'm hoping.Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim B Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Looks like a really well engineered kit. Might pick one up if the price is right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
