Hey everyone.
I picked up this kit the other day (for whatever reason I enjoy the challenge of making a SKIF kit look nice) and I'm trying to find the exterior pe set eduard used to have. I can find the interior set, wheels, and tracks with little trouble, but this set is kind of necessary in my opinion. Any leads would be greatly appreciated. Also if anyone knows any good hobby shops in the San Antonio area that would be great. Stopped by Dibble's Hobbies last week, great place.

Hi Seth,

I've had a look for this set for my kit, it's been oop for a while now, I did manage to get the exterior set for the Skif MTLB which gives you some useful parts, the down side is that you will have to scratch build the launcher details.

Good luck on the search

For what it is worth, the Eduard website www.educard.cz has PDF files of all the instruction sheets including those oop/hard to find sets.

You can print these and use them as base some of your scratch work if that is any help.

here is the link

looks like quite a bit of cutting and replacing up there on the launcher head, rails, and the cab.

also available are pictures of the etch itself which might be helpful for scaling some of the scratch work from.

Thanks guys,
I may just have to go the scratch route, and see what I can do.

Here is the correct link to the page with the instructions set and pictures of the frames Strela exterior set

Thanks Olivier.

If you get the interior set at least you can dress up the "cockpit" a bit it looks. I'll keep an eye on eBay for the exterior set for you Seth.

For sure getting the interior set. Thanks, I've been trying to keep my eyes open as well.
