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

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.

The best I have seen recently is the complaining about the Kotare Spitfire not having an engine after decades of bitching about too many open panels. I have some extra WNW Merlin's I should sell.

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.

Last time I looked there was 2 out my way at the LHS for 150 each. Models and Hobbies 4U if anyone wanted them.
