You seem to be going east quite regularly Erik. :)
You ever come across that kit again, I would be interested in buying one from you. Don't know where else to do that.

EDIT: Being swedish myself, I still managed to spell your name incorrectly twice. :P

kaiser, don't waste your money!! I have built this kit and it's awful. I simultaneously built the Modelkrak Russo Balt; side by side these look like two different vehicles. just getting the panels to meet at the corners requires much butchery (I can't even call it filing or model-making).

to get an idea of the awful quality of this kit, look at the review on Plastic Soldier Review -

http://www.plasticsoldierreview.com/Review.asp?manu=LW&code=52

they have not deliberately tried to make it look bad; it just looks like that!!! its a terrible terrible kit.

on the other hand, the modelkrak kit is brilliant

Thank you! Although I often build hopeless Airfix kits, this one looks much worse than anything I've ever seen (Apart from the Military Wheels "Tunguska"...)!

In light of this new information, I withdraw my request. Unless you're willing to sell it real cheap at IPMS Open this weekend. :P

Hi Kaiser!

No, Im not willing to part with it even if its a bad kit, I bought it cheap for fun.
If youre interested I can bring it along to IPMS-OPEN this weekend for you to look at.
YOu can find me at C4-OPENs table (or ask any of the boys from "Team-C4" for me) but please contact me if you want to check it out or I wont bring the kit along.

Ironsides,
Do you know if it's a trusthworthy site?

Hi Kaiser, I've ordered several times from this guy and will do so again although to me he seems a little slow.. he does however stock a lot of hard to get figure sets and seems to get in new releases pretty quick.....

Cheers
