Italeri has list their March releases, and I am wondering if something old, is something new.
The Italeri website has listed their new releases for the month of March, and some look familiar. The Church Window kit I beleive is just a rerelease of the original kit, as I built that when I was much younger.

But the M113 ACAV looks different. It maybe a release of the M113 but with new parts, as I don't recall an ACAV with the 106 Recoilless before. There is also markings for 4 versions, which I also beleive to be new.

Either way, it is always nice to see some older things come back sometime. For me I am a little interested in the ACAV kit, as I think it would look good in the USAF markings.

0408 - Church Window
6506 - M113 ACAV w/106mm recoilless gun

It's the old M113A1 kit #276 (also re-boxed by Revell): with some Academy parts from the M113A1 ACAV kit : ... and a new decals sheet. Frenchy

After studying some sprue shots I agree this is a rehash of their previous M113 kit with the weapons sprue from the Academy M113A1 kit. I'm kinda surprised they just did not rebox the whole Academy kit as they done with other Academy offerings. The retail price for the Italeri kit in the USA is set at $55.00 Which in my opinion is not much of a bargain considering you get more with the Academy kit for USA retail of $26.00 All the best, Brian Fendley JAC Hobbies

Brian is absolutely right. Why would anyone buy that at that price??? Academy is better quality with more accessories and 5 figures for like $23 on Hobby Easy. Tom
