Found this on my daily Internet Journey. It seem that Italeri is working on their to do list... But I am still waiting for the Scots.

Perhaps bit dull poses, but nice to have some Dak gun crew.
Pity the Scots will not have much poses, less than 16.

I will stick to the Revell kit, but this one will of course be more useful for wargamers but I like a little more detail
any idea if these will be hard of soft plastic

If they are like this set: Italian 90/53 Gun with Crew

then you can expect hard plastic. I broke one by unbasing him :angry3:

A sad thing is that Italeri used to put 2 guns + crew in one box (see the soviet 76mm and the pak 40) and now they switched to 1 only :cry:

thats normal this one is a lot bigger then a Pak40 there was also only one gun in the Italian 90mm flak kit.
if you got 2 Pak 36 and 2 flak 36 for the same price that would be wrong

For me, it's no value for the money. As for the 90/53, the only sprue rattles in the box (as PSR said ;-) ). I can understand if the manufacturers reduce the number of poses, as they can save money by reducing the sculptor's work, but putting another sprue in the box would only cost them a few cents more, which is the value of raw plastic. This is really a battle which should be fought by us consumers :angry3:

Lovely figures! Very nice sculpting & anatomy. Some are a little stiff, but still useful artillery poses. Love the officer! :love:

Will order some boxes for my NA & mediterranian axis forces.
