HubertB Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 It’s become rare indeed. FYI, our friend telepatu has posted one in en estate sale, here : At 80 €, it seems like a great deal Hubert 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rog A few years ago, Mr. Toys in Springwood had both the 111H and Ju-88A for 158AUD each. So.... knowing that all the fellas at TOS were complaining continually about the difficulty of finding/buying both kits, I posted an article saying that I would be the agent of anybody wanting to buy either or both, they would just have to pay postage and cost of the model... And nobody said a dang thing. So, there are always ppl who complain about wanting and not finding... but they usually don't want to pay, either. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Clunkmeister Posted October 3, 2022 Administrators Share Posted October 3, 2022 Here in the US, we occasionally find the Pro Modeler boxing in an LHS. Basically just a US boxing of the same kit, sometimes with different decals, but always with the RoG impossible to decipher instructions seemingly written on rice paper. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
