Hi,

I have this Azimut conversion and wondered which armies used the vehicle, apart from Lebanese army and various factions there.



Thanks for your replies, pics would be nice too!

Cheers,

Christophe

Did you order this set online, or did you buy it in person at a show or something like that... and does it come with a left-hand-steering dashboard to replace Italeri's right-hand-steering dash? I want so much to get a couple of these, but I've been afraid to order because of what I heard about their service.

Hi Hisham,

I bought it at the shop, not sure if they still have some in stock nowadays.

I'd advise finding a Parisian contact who buys the set for you at the shop and sends it to you. That contact would call the shop beforehand to check availability and set the conversion aside for you.

I'd help you out if I was still in Paris, but I'm in Washington now.

I could possibly call them and check for you, but won't be able to do that until next Friday, PM me if you want.

About your other question, I'll have to check my conversion when I get back home.

Cheers,

Christophe

Thanks, Christophe.. no need to pay for an international call just to ask.. especially since I don't know anyone in Paris anyway

I'll send them an e-mail asking them and see if I get a reply.. I mean, I don't think they would go as far as reply saying they have it.. and be lying just so I would make the order

And if I don't get a reply at all, well then...

Thanks again
Hisham

I got free calls to Paris from work.

But with the time difference I won't be able to call them before next Friday, I will be 'on the road" next week Monday to Thursday included.

Cheers,

Christophe
