Italeri has released an interesting kit, a 1/72 scale country
house with porch. This architecture is typical of the European
countryside and would look nice by itself, or with a Panther
or T-34 tank parked next to it. This is done in the same series
that supports both static scale modeler and the more dynamic
wargamer.
The house is molded in medium gray styrene and is a quick
build. It features brick exterior walls plus a porch inside
the archways of the exterior. Window shutters and chimney details
are also included.
This house is modeled intact - no exterior battle damage,
so it would look natural for troops and vehicles to stop by
and take a break enroute to the next battle, or perhaps to
dig in and make their stand at this house.
In any case, 1/72 modelers will enjoy a complete building
that would usually be found in the 1/87 scale HO train communities.
It will definitely set your other modeling subjects into a
nice diorama or vignette setting. Recommended!
My sincere thanks to Testors and
the DLV Company for this review sample!
