I'm not home and don't have the Panzershop kit in front of me, but this looks a lot like the Panzershop conversion. Any thoughts about this manufacturer?

Its a different kit, likely much better. Here is a pic of the built-up Panzershop conversion. Judge for yourself... http://www.network54.com/Forum/78968/thread/1068711972/PanzerShop+news

Well I can not speak for the kit, but this company has 4 sales and a very spacific warning on shipping. I would watch this one for a while.

HI ERIC; From what ive heard is that they are a New and Upcoming company out of China, there quality is the Best anybody has seen. There sets are New and not copys of something else, they are Conversions so that means you need a Doner kit, Now if you can Offord the kit there shouldent be a problem on Ordering & Shipping out of China. As far as Costs they are on Par with everybody else.

CHEERS, MIKE.

Hi Eric
As Mike mentioned earlier, they are made from scratches, not copy, as I personally provided the guy of TBS with pictures of T-72M4CZ found on Czech website (It's hard and slow to access these sites from China:-)--< )
I have their M-95 and ZTZ 96 with prototype turret, I must say that earlier products are of various qualities but he mentioned to me that he switched to pressure molding so air bubbles on parts are very rare now =)
I cant really tell you about the quality of the T-72m4cz parts as I don't have one myself, due to lack of donor kit (Tam T-72 is hard to come by nowaday and I reserved mine for his upcoming BMPT )
As for shipping, He ships by SAL with tracking number so be prepared to wait for a few weeks to receive them, apparently is hard to ship metallic items by air in China, he had several cases of returned package because of that in the past so SAL is the way to go

Is it hard to find it in Canada ?
You have it "in stock" at Lucky Models :
