Hi PAt,

Useful little figure. Do you know who is stocking their stuff in the UK? I think the last figures I got were through Panther Models but they seem to have gone off line.

I understand DB Models is stocking some items. Don't know if he'll stock this.

The link to his web site I had seems to show no stock but if you go to his ebay shop it's showing items available. I think he trades mainly through this, or it certainly appears that way.

Historex UK stock Skp figures I think.

The post and packaging from Skp is very reasonable too.

Hi

Update on DB Models. Good news is he has a new web site as well as ebay shop. Bad news Skp not listed.

DB Models

P.S. Pat is also correct in his information that Historex are also a source and I agree their postal rates are reasonable.

Looks great. A nice figure from a battle (if you can call it that) not represented very often in modelling.

and without a whopping price tag!

I recieved the figure itself from Skp just now, it looks good and I'll have a full review in place within the next few days.

I also found this image online
