Greetings All,

Does anyone know where I can get the Easter Expess 2B9 82mm Automatic mortar with GAZ 66 towing vehicle outside of the USSR? (preferably an english language website)

It looks like an interesting kit

Best regards

Eastern Express seem to be available in Russia and Ukraine but hard to get anywhere else.
Item no. 35136 (togheter with GAZ 66 - only boxing I've seen so far)


Cheers,

Thank God the USSR no longer exists.
BUT, I have bought from companies in both the Ukraine and Russia without any problems.
If you choose to mail order Hobby Terra, http://www.hobbyterra.com/, have been very good.
You may want to try them if all else fails.

The only problem with HobbyTerra that I can see is that they no longer carries Eastern Express. It's a bit strange that EE are so hard to get hold of outside Eastern Europe (and have been for many years). They seem to have some troubles with their distribution. When I visited Kiev last fall there were plenty of EE kits in the stores.
