Lanchester:


Lancia IZM:


Fordson Armoured Car (Rolls Royce Armoured Car body):

Whoa! Nice find, plastikk!







I have been trying to place an order with BUM, but no luck so far. I have emailed and used their pedidos form. Anybody have any other ideas?

Yes. He makes it very difficult to buy from him.

Indeed. These BUM and Pobeda productions seem to be extremely difficult to buy.

Here is a list of BUM distributors. Half of the pages are quite odd or no working, and the rest of the firms seem to sell just some figures:

I tried to find out some information about Pobeda. No results after three hours, and I even tried in Russian...

Thank you MTorrent, I will search through that list. Maybe I can get one model kit from each supplier!

Or maybe someone in Spain will see this and help? (fingers crossed)

I made contact via email, but I think they must have a flat rate postage; it works out very expensive for such a small order (5 kits). So hopefully I can find a Spanish retailer who does mail order.

Please, inform us, if you find something. I would really much like to know, where I could have these BUM and Pobeda products.

I searched quite many shops, but all what I found was BUM figures and WW II stuff from Pobeda...

If you order from BUM directly, using their email address, you get a response. Their email is bum[AT]bumslot[DOT]com. Write "solicitud de pedido" in the subject line, and include your country (pais) and city (ciudad) and postal code (CP) in the body of the email, as well as what you want to order. They will take it from there.

However, the rate they used for postage for me here in North America would make the kits too expensive for me. Probably much better rates for EU.

This Spanish shop has Lancia ICM. They have so far the best inventory of BUM and Pobeda. Two WW I cars from Pobeda, but not those ACs.

They have also this Fordson.

Anyhow, this seems so far the best supplier of these products, so they could have those armoured cars in some day...

Cheaper to buy direct from BUM.  About 33% cheaper.

They have now only te American M.M.G.S - i think it's the model from Poland- RPM with Airfix figures.
And a Russo-Balt from LV[repackage] ,Ford T Ambulance [RPM] - described ''German ambulance''-heh.

Back to this subject... Henk of Holland shows how Garford-Putilov, Austin-Putilov and Lanchester of Pobeda look like:

 

http://henk.fox3000.com/pobeda.htm

 

Very simple, I would say. Garford-Putilov looks rather suitable. Soldiers are copy from Esci WW II Russians.

Lancia IZ from BUM is also shown here:

 

http://henk.fox3000.com/bum/5063/02.jpg

 

Wheels are big problems, when comparing them to for example Modelkrak:
