Hi Guys,

Is someone familiar with the firm RN-Modellbau from Germany ?
I found some interesting conversion-sets on their site.
Hemtt EPP and Hemtt REBS conversions for the Italeri M-977.
Is their quality any good ?
Did someone ever order from them ?

Ge,

Have you read the reviews on Panzer Modell:
http://www.panzer-modell.de/berichte/roland_kette/roland.htm

I've got the 35013 SanMTW (exterior) kit and it's bit rough but it's at least 2 years old so don't know if they have improved.

Hi Paul,

Thanks for your reply.
Had an email yesterday from Greyhunter and he told me that the experience he had with RN was not to good also.
I think I pass for the moment, although it's too bad.
Just found a M-977 from Italeri and hoped to convert it in some special.
I already have the M-977, M -978 and M-984
Well, maybe more luck somewhere else !!

Ge,
I have used their Matilda Australian conversion kit for Tamiya's old kit. I had to find some good reference pics to help me out, however, the conversion kit itself did not have any nasty surprises. It turned out rather nice. I hope this helps.
Cheers
Dave

I think you're confusing RN-Modellbau and MR-Modellbau...

MR stuff is very good, RN stuff is very rough...

Cheers,
