Italeri “Complete Sets”
From The Modelling News website. Full article can be found here.
Italeri has commenced a new set of models that contain not only the kit, but pretty much everything you would need to complete a basic model like this to a decent standard – all in one box. There are two kits in the initial batch of these complete set kits – the first is an F-16 C/D Night Falcon, while the second is an M1 Abrams. Both in 1/72nd scale. Below is in example of what you find inside the box for the F-16 kit.

HPH is a Czech company and an established manufacturer of high-quality polyurethane resin kits formed in silicone rubber molds. This looks like a fantastic kit for those willing to dig a little deeper into their pockets.
