    I did finally get the last piece of the puzzle though. Been trying to find this kit for almost 2 years and at a good price. There are two versions of this kit and I needed the SVP packaging,

    In this one you get 2 complete kits. The single kit goes for €39 + postage and I nabbed this one for €60 delivered. After the Russian GB, it's back to my project that's been stalled for too long. I think I'm going to love being retired!!!

    And no Bob, there won't be a StuG sitting on them either, just a rocket..........

    Prost

    You heartless person you! Look great with StuG's leaving Alkett!! Now look into my eyes, my eyes :nerd:

          The Sabre flat cars are great. Thoroughly enjoyed making mine for a relatively 'simple' subject.

            My birthday present to myself, seeing as how my wife forgot. (she did buy cake, so she is sort of forgiven )

            Strength isn't about what you can do, rather it's about overcoming what you thought you couldn't do.

                Thanks Mark, it looks reasonably straight forward, assembly wise.
                I just need to take my time, and think about the logical order.

                  I'm a bit disappointed, I've opened the box and washed the sprues, only to find that the decal sheet is not in the box.
                  I contacted my local store where I bought it, and they don't have any more of the Lynx in stock to exchange it.
                  So to cut through the intermediary nonsense, I have emailed Revell directly, and am awaiting a response.

                  Update : I am very pleased to report that Revell have responded already, and will send the missing decals to me.
                  Now that, is very efficient German customer service. Well done Revell.

                    I've only had to deal with Revell customer service once, but they immediately replaced a missing part in a kit I had bought, so full marks to them.

                      Revell customer service was excellent for me once as well.

                            Thanks to Jim for this one, to be used on a display base first:

                            [ATTACH]443789[/ATTACH]

                            A bit of a bargain from eBad. Been on the lookout for this, box battered but contents seem OK. No instructions but easily solved:

                            [ATTACH]443790[/ATTACH]

                            And a couple of other bits for the above. Not worked with streaking before.

                              Nice to see that Revell name their kit so that you can shout it out during construction.
