I think the Italeri kits are good for their price. I could spend 26 Cad (As I remember) on the Italeri Tornado in 1/72 or something like 34 Cad on an airfix one which require a heck of a lot more work to make nice.
Yes the italeri kits have problems, but I think for the subject that you are getting and the price at which they are, it is worth it.
To put into perspective, I got a 1/700 Tribal class which ended up being about 4 inches long and less than an inch wide at 29.99 Cad.

Re: Italeri Hawk.
Thanks. Was hoping to have this and the Mustangs done by the end of January. But my work schedule is still going full tilt. So I'll be happy with the middle of February

Re: Italeri Hawk.
I always enjoy adding the decals. It really starts to look the part.

Re: Italeri Hawk.
Me too. These went on really well. I might see if I can get more if these kits. So many different schemes
