Dave Parker (AFV Modeller Editor) is a member of our IPMS club and is the UK importer of this stuff. At our club meeting on Monday night he brought in a huge range of stuff from the Leadwarrior range that is to be on sale down at the nationals.

The resin they produce in my opinion is perhaps the best I have ever seen anywhere. The drilling gun unit has detail is is very difficult to describe as to its perfectness. - and all the Pz1 stuff for the tristar kits - dear me.

Honestly this stuff is amazing. The actual resin itself has a very matt surface finish, unlike the satiny type sheen seen on other stuff. Once their 250 and Opel Blitz stuff is available I will have the lot.

Twig,
are they doing seperate int's and stuff for the Pz1? as i was looking at verlindens int and it's 22 quid were is I can get a LD kit and PE/resin with it for 32 quid I quite fany the Pz1
ammo transporter does your mate have a stall? as I may pay him a visit on Sunday also
would you say they are good for a first attempt at conversions? Oh yes I agree about the resin it looks fanastic on the web-site I'm toying with a drilling set as well so much choice so little money!

I dont know if leadwarrior are doing interiors for the Pz1 alone but thery are for certain conversions.

Dave will be at the nationals running the AFV Modeller Magazine stand so go and have a word with him. AFV has most of the leadwarrior stuff up on their website at:

http://shop.afvmodeller.com/customer/home.php?cat=280&XCARTSESSID=9eee2468d21da0fa1c6f90d62f67afc9

It is not the cheapest stuff but is not far from being the best (and no I am not getting any commission for saying that :-) )
