Hi Guys,

Apologies if I have asked this question before but I was wondering if anyone had any experience of the Wespe Model kits?

They hava number of British Softskins at reasonable prices I've been thinking of getting, but would like some info on qualitybuildability etc.

Many thanks

Al

Hi Alan, I have 8 Wespe Models kits and they are all of good quality with excellent casting. I've built one and the fit is good with minimal sanding and filling. All my kits are cars and trucks and I consider them a very good value. Get one and I don't think you'll be disappointed.

I second that, I have four of their trucks and the Waffentrager and I think they're very good value for money.

Hi alan

I have also built a few, and generally I agree with them being straightforward to build.
Can be a bit simplified in places. Probably best to have a look for reviews/pics on line to see if they are what you want.
I have built the Fiat 508c, AS43 truck, Ford C11 and working on Marmon herrington Mk3. Found these to be ok with exception of the Ford C11 wheels which were pretty simplified.
Hope this helps
Dus
