I'll always remember the kindness of this Company. Back in the 90's, I had a Monogram 'special edition' 1/35 Sherman M4A1 76W and needed new tracks for it. I contacted Italeri out of the blue and a set of old style Sherman tracks were on the way that day. I lost the person who bought me that kit years ago but the Sherman with those tracks from Italeri is still in my collection. Thank you, Sirs.

My first Italeri kit was, IIRC, the Semovente 75mm tank destroyer back in the early to mid 1970s. I do remember being impressed with the detail and overall quality. Not quite up to Tamiya, but really close. And I always thought William Tell was a British dude. So I learned something else new today.

I loved building Italeri kits back in the late 70s. My most memorable builds were the Opel Maultier Blitz half-track and PAK 40 anti-tank gun. These were under the Testors/Italeri logos. In 2016 I brought the Testors/Italeri 1/72 F-21A Kfir I had just completed to the IPMS Nats in Columbia, SC. To my surprise, I won second place. It was a kit that fought me every step of the way, but my insistence to get it finished to the best of my abilities paid off. Thanks for the video, Max & enjoy your pizza!

I found Italaerei 1/35 armor kits in the early 1980's , before they changed the spelling . They offered subjects not available at the time . The Italian WWII M13/40 tank and Semovente assault gun were cool kits . Their M47 Patton was as good as any Tamiya kit I had built at the time . It was my favorite kit . I am currently building their D-Day DUKW .

I remember the Italeri kits being in the 5 and dime stores as well. They were not bad kits at all. They were more detailed than the 1/32 Monogram armor kits at the time, but harder to assemble. That was due to the accurate detailing and small parts. I still have quite a few Italeri armor, and some aircraft kits in the un-built armada. I still build one now and then. Some years back, I bought NOS the 1/35 German Pak 40, and the Russian 76.2 AT gun. Those sit on a shelf in my workshop, where they can easily be seen. It takes me back to the late 70`s, when I bought both of those same kits from the 5 and dime, and built them over my summer vacation. A much simpler time.

Another informative and interesting movie, thanks Max! Italeri is the 'bright side' of value for price modelling, never dared to put really out-dated kits into its boxes (unlike others). And I can confirm kindness: back in 1987 my F-15's wing melted at casting, have written a very basic english, childish letter to the address on box (Calderara di Reno) and a new sprue arrived, with no questions. And decals were always good! ESCI reboxings also good...

My first articles in the local modellbuilding where the improvements of the flaws in the windows, headlights and radiator of the amazingly delicate and accurate cab in 1985 or so, and a trailer made of 2 cargo bays. Hope to ever shake hands with the mouldmakers!

You play the piano very well. Okay gang it is The March of the Swiss Soldiers from the William Tell Overture from the opera William Tell by Rossini. It is NOT The Lone Ranger Theme. However I grew up with Hi Ho Silver Away and even I still think of the "Ranger" when I hear this music played. Italeri has really increased in price up here in the last to years. probably because the distributor has changed again. Italeri makes some great 1/35 ship kits and I have the Vosper MTB 74 St. Nazaire kit. An awesome kit just waiting to be built. I have a couple of older Italeri kits to go with my 1/35 armour and they are nice but a little less than Tamiya in detail.

I built a ton of their kits from the late 70s to the 90s, 1/72 planes and 1/35 military. Some of their early planes were absolutely top level, like the Ju-188 and Do-217. Detailed cockpit, very fine molded small parts (like the MGs), well above the quality of the same time Airfix and Revell kits. The 1/35 military kits were IMHO a mixed bag, comparing to Tamiya. Some were more detailed, like the M40 Semovente, some were a little less. They were cheaper (in Europe anyhow) and most of their product line were different. Made a lot of kits that nobody else, like the Katyusha rocket launcher, or the 105mm US howitzer - both were very nicely detailed ones. I couldn't say anything about their historical accuracy, when I built them there were no internet or an abundance of reference materials. One thing is maybe missing form the history, that AFAIK they made some of the venerable Peerless-Max kits as well. I'm not sure about that, but the same sleeve that Airfix had also sold in the late 70s (M3 Scout car, dodge, 1 1/2ton truck, M6 AT dodge, etc.), had in their catalogue as well. Some of them are there even now, like the CWT 15 truck, the CMP FAT and the Bedford gun portee. To tell you the truth, I've never seen any original Peerless kit and just read that Airfix used their molds so it can be accidentaly, but tweleve kits of the same line are hardly "accidental".

The Panzer 4 F1/G and H came out shortly after and I think that those kits hold their own with the new kits coming out today.

I had build several Italeri modern fighter jets. The most often criticized short comings include missing or even wrong details, raised panel lines in some of their kits, some minor fitting issues and insufficient warning signs decals. While those fitting issues are generally not difficult to overcome, the missing or wrong details really take off your effort and patient. While the decals provided always fewer than it should, the quality of the decal itself is superb. What I like most about the Italeri kits are they never "over-engineering", rather simple assembly, convincing shape and look. Usually I wouldn't recommend Italeri kits to anyone else. But I just keep buying them myself. Overall, with relatively low price, Italeri seldom disappointed me.

A 1960's Airfix childhood, by 1970 when ESCI were producing the best 1/72 scale figurines, Italeri in ascendence and Tamiya really rising to prominence my playtime had shifted to more dynamic and exciting pursuits. Not until the early 1980s did I buy models again, at which time both ESCI and Italeri were arguably at the peak of their competitiveness. Although I've moved on in these times to 1/48 and 1/35 pretty much exclusively in respective air and armour genres, I pickup up a lot of their 1/72 scale armour in 1982 & '83 when I was tabletop wargaming, and it really was a cut above in scale. Epic for the era. Even today, whilst they're not Dragon, Eduard, Tamiya or Zvezda when it comes to the latest slide moulded tooling, many of their kits stand up very well dressed up in their warpaint, particularly in 1/72. e.g. Me 210 A1

Good on you Max. Very interesting as usual. I have built a few Italeri kits. My favorite was their American Super Liner that looked like it was a Mack truck but Italeri could obviously not get/afford a license from Mack so there was absolutely no mention of Mack in the kit. And sadly no Bulldog hood ornament. My kit was kitbashed into Mack from the Disney/Pixar Cars films. It took to kitbashing very well. Lots of detail and great fit (At least the parts I did not alter.) They even do a DAF truck with New Zealand company, MainFreight, decals. That is always a good way to appeal down-under to us Kiwis.

It was the Italaerei Lavochkin LA 5 in 1:72 and my mom had to pay for it because it cost more than the current Airfix and Revell kits for a small single engine fighter....I loved the kit and treat it like gold....back then I felt it was a very accurate kit and in later years when I was older went on to buy many of their kits....and with today's kits I like them a lot. Their newer tooled Macchi C.202/205 are pretty nice but I still like their older Supermodel releases...👍 back in the 70's The Squdron Shop used to advertise their Supermodel kits in their mail order catalogs and also in plastic models and aviation magazines....

I remember building their 1:720 "Admiral Kuznetsov" back when I was a kid in the '90s. It was the set that prompted me to go and buy an airbrush system because I wanted it to be as best as I can make it and I didn't feel confident to do it justice with just paint and a brush. Turned out to be quite alright considering my limited skills and talent. Another set I had was the 1:72 "MiG 37B Ferret E", which for some reason I decided to "digitize" by measuring with a ruler and transfer that data into a POVRay file. None of those builds exist anymore unfortunately.

As a GS rider, I have been looking for the Protar and smaller 1/12 Tamiya Dakar bikes for some time, but put off by the crazy Ebay prices.

Only problem was the kit didn't come with the Japanese style waterline metal weight so over time it bowed up at both ends.A pity because it was a nice kit though in hindsight iI think it might've been 1/720 not 1/700?

Hi Max, As time permits I'm trying to watch all of your Plastic Model Companies "History" videos. Being someone who spent 8 years playing trumpet in the school band beginning in the fifth grade, I did know the William Tell Overture was composed by Gioachino Rossini for his William Tell Opera. Yes I am a model building band nerd ( ha ha ha ) . If you are looking for a challenge, pick up one of the Italeri 1:24 scale truck models, such as the Freightliner FLC or the Classic Western Star. They are a little pricey but are nice models. Their only downside is the multi piece cab which leaves an unwanted cab seam, but that can be easily fixed with a little sanding. Cheers, Rich S.

I honestly don't have the best opinion on Italeri kits, their T-34-85 (If they even made the mold lol) it had a crap ton of flash, but other than that it was pretty nice. Their Porsche Tiger, on the other hand, was not that good, but mine turned out okay. Tiger did not have that much flash though, so that's nice

Italeri is 2nd only to Tamiya in quality. They're close - very close. I was exposed to Italeri when Revell released their Revell-Italearie line of 1/35 scale tanks, vehicles and artillery pieces. Their accuracy was outstanding. In some areas they were more accurate than Tamiya.

Darn, I have pizza makin's, but I am already eating chili. 😉 I have built many Italeri kits over the decades. Some have been better than others but none were bad. Mostly military aircraft and vehicles. Currently I have their M-24 Chaffee light tank and British Army Land Rover to build.

My only gripe with their armoured kits is that they are too realistic. The pad count may be accurate, but the tracks are too tight. The Leopard !A4 was particularly challenging. Their Panzer 38t and Panzer 1 are still great kits.

I just got an Italeri model of a gladiator arena. (It's actually all your fault. I was looking for the Glenco Roman Chariot that you showed in your Glenco video, and the guy at the hobby shop popped up with this $90 Gladiator Arena. Which meant the next week I had to drop another $90 on paints, because usually I build space models, and rockets and humans don't have a lot of colours in common)

There is a popular term for this brand in the modeling community: Shitaleri. Any experienced modeller would probably rank Italeri as complete garbage, there are worse brands out there but they are a lot less known. Its ironic that their goal is to create the most accurate kits when a majority of what they put out is extremely bad and their modern stuff in recent years is average at best, still bad.
