Italian Bersaglieri 100/17 Modello 14 medium artillery

Wait for plastic?

I thought I knew what I was getting into when I ordered a metal artillery kit but I did not expect the whole gun shield to be one piece. 20 minutes of carefully bending/hammering with a small pair of needle nose and I got it to look fairly similar to the official model. The fenders still sit out of alignment though. I don’t know that they will ever make plastics of the Italian guns, but this would certainly be a good candidate for a 3D printed model (sold printed or as an STL, as some others do with niche models).
