Ah goody

This means I gots to blow up or off 2 turrets from those Pz 4s I still have left. Production to begin soon on the Mini Famo AA vehicle as well

May have to get a couple more troop cars to make a second Mini Famo AA vehicle too

I just can't wait to see these Quad flaks. So many uses and applications too. I know I'll need a couple stationary quads to protect the field Headquarters too.

Matt,
you da man

I just wish I could crank out Mini Famo kits for folks, but I'm just not set up to do them, not just in tooling, but in time as well. Count on a second order from me to get more of the quad Flak kits. I gots Lots of ideas and project that will use them

Thanks !!!
Da General

Just received mine. Very happy with it.

It was mailed Priority Mail 12/8. I guess Priority mail in Christmas season doesn't mean Priority.

All's well that ends well.....

Mine shown up today

I got to open the box, but didn't have time to look at them other than the instructions

And now, it's time to go to the game via the mailbox station to send off those last few Xmas gifts

Perhaps I will get to see them tonight or tomorrow morning after everything else is taken care of

Thanks again Matt !!!!

Thanks Blasto. Your were my best customer

Can you guys make heads or tails from the directions? This thing was a little complicated to make. It may be the same to build.

Not a problem Matt, Thanks

I'll check out the directions after my trip to the mailbox station - ran outta time yesterday. Also, let us know when you bring out the flak 38 kits. I will need a few batteries to protect my HQ building

Thanks

I receive my kit today and I decided to do a little review.

First, everything was carefuly packed and no broken pieces at all. Everything was put in plastic bag and wrapped in plastic bubble sheet.

For those who already know what a resin kit looks like, you will notice how good pieces are molded. No need of heavy sanding. For the other, you will be more than happy with an almost ready to build kit.

The notice is also very clear, all steps clearly explained and some drawings are included to help you.

So for my part, it's a professional kit. No doubt our friend Pickel have made a fantastic job on his Wirbelwind and it's a must have for all XD fan !

I think also that Pickel have opened a door in our 1:18 scale world. With the crisis and the rare new models that will be aviable, conversion set and such have a room. It depend on us customers and collectors and also to people like Pickel who build such great kit to give our XD world a bright future.

And now, pics...

tadaaa !

Thanks a lot and congrats to you Pickel !
