I understand Italeri and Maquette both make 1/35th scale kits of the
Sd.Kfz 140/1 recon tank. Is anyone in here familiar with either kit?
I'd appreciate any info.

I have the Maquette kit but have not built it as yet .
There are a couple of build reviews that have been done ,the Mquette kit
apparently is not an easy build ,because of fit problems IIRC.
I have built the Maquette 38(t) kit which the 140/1 is based on , and it
was a good build .I used the Eduard PE set to enhance it.
IIRC Eduard have a couple pe sets for the 140/1 one is a turret and mesh
grenade screens and the other is for the hull and fenders.
Been awhile since I looked at the PE sets so I may be wrong here.

Can't say any thing about the Italeri kit .

Thanks, Kevin. Maybe the Italeri is new.

Maquette kit is buildable but rough. Italeri kit has been announced but
not yet released.
