Hi everyone

I'm trying to source a Skif kit to use as the base for an SP Designs Resin upgrade set but I'm having trouble sourcing Skif kits in the UK. Does anyone have any ideas on who stocks them in Europe or USA?

I'm specifically looking for a Skif T-80 for a SP T-80U set.

Any ideas would be much appreciated. Annoying thing is I can get hold of the Zvezda T-80 easily but that isn't compatible for the SP kit.

Hobbyterra has a good stock also if your order is large $ 150.00 shipping is free, also you can find Skiff kits on Ebay.

Thanks for the tips guys.

Those suppliers in Europe are most likely easiest for me. Actually last time I tried netmerchants for Skif they didnt have hardly anything. It's good to see they have more in now.

Whats the UDK designation? The box art on the Skif set seems to show an aerial or antenna of some sort surrounding the tank? Is it some command variant?

Looking through this I will probably use jadar hobby, they have a good range at a good price. I used them one time before also for some bison decals.

Coelian Models from Holland has some Skif. I have no clue if the guy actually still trades his stuff. But you could try to send him an Email. Quite a nice guy and shipping from Holland to the UK should not be too expensive and fairly quick as well.
