OK cool makes sense. Thanks for the info. It was so many years ago I built that Eidai kit that my 'reference' was the box top art! Maybe an update will be in my future!

Pre-ordered mine just now from LuckyModel for $73 + shipping. Not too bad for a model of this size.

Yep, with shipping to the US it looks like about $93. Not cheap, but akin to some of the kits out there today.

Well, the resin Meilerwagen from Wespe Models will run you about $70 all by itself.

Yep, I'm not complaining about the price, I think three separate kits in the box for $93 is not bad-- I wonder if they will offer the Meillerwagen separately. I know the SS100 goes for about $44, I see the V2 will sell for about $18. All three in a box average out to be about $31 each including shipping-- really not a bad price considering the cost of many of the new Dragon, AFV Club, or Trumpeter tank prices. I applaud Takom for getting a kit out that plastic modelers have asked for for years a have wanted for years now.

There is a very fine conversion set for the SD Kfz 7 in to a Feurleitwagen from Leadwarior.
The towedfuel trailer was never a part of the V-2 batterie vehiciles columm The germans did use two Opeltankers of 2900liter or one with 3500liter of B-stoff (alcohol)to load a rocket.Radar was just in use for measuring and flight tracking.
The rocket had no radio arming system.
The rocket had two radio systems one for engine cut-off the so called BS or Brenschluss, and one guilding system called LS or Leitstrahl.

Greetings to you all

PS maybe we can make a special building forum for this model to help and advice each other.

Pictures of the sprue's can be seen on the website of Lucky- Models as of today. This is a model that needs some updating sets for the small details. Greetings Bert
