SHAZAMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Is all that just OOB? If that is the case, then I gotta get one of those. Man just the guns alone make it worth the price.

Just what Steve said! The 40mm in particular looks superb. Very tempted to get one of these, sadly I really don't have the space just now...

Hi Fabio,
Seasons greeting to you. Thanks for the head up on this one.
This just keeps getting better and better.
Merry Christmas.
Cheers
Al
Edit: I do hope they bring this out as a separate kit and add a Bedford QLB to tow it lol, lol.

I'm trying to convince them to release it as a "terrestrial" kit too...

Unfortunately I'm not an expert at all about this beast, but looking at the pics on the booklet enclosed and comparing these to the model it looks fine.
The PE are a bit tick but a bit of sanding (mainly to the sights) fixes easily the prob...

Convince them, convince them :-) :-) :-) On it's own I think the bofors will sell really well and a new Bedford is long over due
At the same time you might mention a 1/35 Salvage Boat for next year, and an accessory set for their growing range of 1/35 small craft :-) :-) :-)
I don't think the kit will get to the shops in England until January. Keep us posted on the build it will look awesome when done.
Italeri have produced some really interesting and long overdue kits these past few years. I like their thinking and it's grand that they just don't follow the leader.
Merry Christmas

No I bought it, I ordered it as soon as I saw it on Italeri catalog cover. It came in this week in my local hobby shop. The kit looks indeed great. It will be hard to paint such a big hull realisticly so I have to think about that for a while. Maybe I'll add some lights or something.
cheers
