Hi all,
do you know if tank-mania is still in business?!

http://www.tank-mania.com/index.php


I've sent an email this morning but up to now no response.
Do you know if the owner(s) is in the US or Europe?!Asia maybe?!

I haven't found a distributor here in Europe.
Infos would be appreciate.

Regards

Ciro Riccio

Pawel is a member here. I'm sure his business is still up and running. He is located in Europe.

He is located in Poland and recently had a child, so I think he may be a bit busy. Response time pre-child was 2-3 days as well. I suggest patience. He is a good guy.

Yes, Pawel is one (or THE) founder of this company..
As I saw on recent builds, he is in business.

Possibly, his internet-connection is "missing" for a short time?

greetings...

Hi all
I want say you all that Pawel(Tankmania) is still in business.
I've placed an order 2 hours agň for his SA-4 Ganef.
I read that it's a very nice kit and I hope that It will be when I'll have it in my hands.
Do you know if there are areas that need particular attention or some advice relative to the kit?!
Also...besides the net...do you know if there are books about Ganef(Krug)?!


Thank you all.

Ciro

PS for Jacques
Pawel seems to be a nice guy :-)

Hi Ciro

Maybe could help you this old tread
In the tread Juhász Gábor (aka Juge 75) described the kit assembling

Here another tread about the Tank mania kit mounted by Wojtek Strojek (aka Stroju)


Here you can find some walkarounds

Here a review

http://inscale.org/pub/index.php?topic=286.0

I haven't found any books about the subject, but to be honest I didn't search very carefully. Anyway in my opinion you can ask for references or explanations to the armorama members who have already mounted the kit

cheers

Hi Gabor....I know your work....it's just save on my references ;-)
I'm looking for a (bi)tri-tonal camo,I've found something but not much.
Anyway I've time to think about the painting.

Regards and Keep up the great work!
