[SKW48023] 

[SKW48007] 

So i might attempt a little diorama of them loading up the A-4.




Those Skunk models are very good, done a few myself



The wheels, though, don't have an axle, just glue to the inside wheel well.

Indeed, they have switched to a new post handler a few months ago (according to an email I received from them) and it is not really an improvement. I usually received my items in 4 days max, nowadays it takes somewhere between 5 to 10 days. I also bought a bit of their products for my (upcoming) entry in the GB and this has been also over a week already.

Not really a problem for me at the moment as I don't really have a lot of time right now but still a bit annoying though [rolleyes]

Cheers Nigel, yeah they look decent, always better to hear from one of you guys though. and i wouldnt fuss over the wheels anyway.

Only thing is where these models used in Nam ? il need to have a gander on google.

looks like you have or will be getting all the bells and whistles. its going to be a great build/diorama. I agree re: the wheel wells--very nice!

Great to see all the bits are turning up and you are making a start Steven.

The crusader in that book looks awesome mate, I love to see the grey and White scheme heavily weathered like that

Good luck with the build
