Blitz Kit is a new French company, well new to me anyway, with an interesting line of resin armor and figures.

They look good, and thanks to google translator I could actually read the site.
The Citroën kégresse P28 looks good, and just may find a home.

What interesting vehicles those are. Most unusual subjects. I hope Blitz can continue this line.

Oh those AC's and halftracks are really really clunky and cool. I'll probably wind up getting them all eventually. Thanks Pat.

Has anybody dealt with Steph of Blitz-kit? Would be really interested in how it went if you bought something from him.
I ordered the Lot carburant France 40 n°2 on September 15, 2012. Got verification from the French bank that they had my $$. Nothing more. Finally, after a bunch of prodding, Steph of Blitz-kit emailed me on November 15, 2012, saying he had not been paid. I emailed him and included a copy of the French bank statement the same day.
On November 16, the French bank emailed me a new statement saying the money I paid on September 15, had now been claimed by the merchant.
More emails and prodding, and still no kit or word if it will ever be sent. I did recently get a copy of his latest newsletter though, offering to sell me other things!!
A good bit frustrating. Only decent thing is that I do not urgently need it yet, having a building to make first for the dio where the French gas drums and hand cranked pump will be used.

BUMP!! Hope somebody has had some dealings with Steph, and maybe can help me. If you live near him, maybe go and knock on his door on my behalf (lol).

Hey, maybe some good news. I sent an email to Steph this morning, and got a reply just a while ago, stating my kit was sent out on November 23. Gave me a French mail routing #. I will advise later if all works out. There may be hope!!

Good news Somtec. My kit got here today, about 40 minutes ago. There is hope. I had a chap call Steph at Blitz-kit, and this may have helped. Apparently he is the designer, worker, accounts keeper, and chief bottle washer, and apparently is quite stretched out.
Hang in there!

Why is it so difficult for blitz model shop to communicate by Email with ,
They have my money for 2 weeks now
Still no reply from them!
I even wrote in french i go to france most my adult live so i speak the lingo ,
It's time they (most French especially the younger generation )
learn to speak/write a bit of English,it has been 200 years when they were defeated by the British (get over it !)
It is not that i am asking for them to write me back in my native tongue (Dutch).
And they have some great kits that i like and would like to have .

Can't remember when the British actually defeated us, at least without the help of a coalition. Even if you were right, some of us will never forget their shelling of the French fleet in Mers El Kebir during WWII.
OK just kidding
I find it weird that French webshops are so little customers friendly. They make their living from them and act as if their money came from nowhere! Concerning the French and their poor ability in learning foreign languages, this is partly due to the fact that French remains the second official language in UN and NATO. So don't expect too much effort from many of them.
But also and most probably the main reason is our school system being not really good at teaching languages.
Hopefully your trouble with Blitz will be qoon solved.

Hy Maarten. Have had the same issue.No mail communications, money gone. But in the end, weeks later, they delivered everything, with sending the track link per mail. So wait a little longer.
For me, I am done with them and will not order again.

Hi oliver ,
The last time was on 8 April 1814 ,the British 18th Hussars seized the bridge at Croix d'Orade.
It must be the french school system than .
Back in the day when i attended school we got German,french and English.

There are still people that think I pulled chalks for the Wright Brothers, kid me about my French heritage, still thinking the French bombed Pearl Harbor instead of the Germans, blah, blah, blah...lol. I do like the kits Blitz is pumping out...but it still makes ya wonder why they would want to call themselves 'Blitz". Ya think they would want to distance themselves from a name like this. I've got a new French rifle...brand new, never fired, dropped once! LOL. I'm 100% French...get over yourself! Blitz...keep pumping out those kits of vehicles nobody will ever dare produce!!!
OFF TOPIC: Did anyone notice that Facebook was down for 3 days back in February??? Yea...upset a lot of people...they were down the 29th, 30th, and 31st.
APRIL FOOL!
