Just wonder if anyone has any experience with this kit that they would like to share with me. Have just ordered my a Strv 103C from HLJ, and would like to know what I have bought...

Hmmm... cool new smileys...

Hey Thomas,

Normally they have had everything I've ordered. They're just getting back to a regular schedule of shipping. They've been remodeling/expanding there facilities. Keep an eye out for the specials and you can save a bunch. They also have an open house once a year and golly its paradise for a modeler.

Hi,

I received my Strv 103C from Rainbow Ten about 2 weeks ago. I'm very happy from its quality. This is very nice kit- Trumpeter did a BIG step forward. In my opinion kit's quality is over Academy products and close to Tamiya late 80's standard. Some elements (like upper hull) are so great looking. Quality and flexibility of tracks is similar to Tamiya's Leo 2A5.
I've been starting its building. There are elements which need to be correct with putty, but I'm building S-tank without major problems.

Regards,

Michal

Thanks guys. You have been a good help... as usual...
