Western Star tractor
Awesome kit for the advanced modeler. A little bit of flash, but nothing serious. Straight going assembly but careful attention is needed for the final assembly and addition of small chrome parts. My pet peeves are minimal. First, A booklet format for the instructions instead of the road map style would be appreciated. Second, I’ve noticed that Italeri/Amt truck kits use shared components such as mirrors, fuel tanks, mud flaps, frame parts, etc. takes away some of the challenge cause you’ll feel like you’re building the same kit twice or more times. I doubt you can go to a Peterbilt dealer and buy parts for a Western Star. I’d like to see less of that in future releases.
Very well made kit
Thus was my first Italeri kit, I usually try to stick to 1/25 scale. I wish all manufacturers had this high of quality. There was zero flash, and the parts fit very well together with only a couple needing a few swipes with a sanding stick. I'll build more Italeri even though they don't size match the rest of my collection just because this one was such a pleasure to build
