Nigel, it took me one and a half hours of fit and miss trying to repack one inner box after seeing what the breech looked like. And I made a map! How they ever got in packed in the first place is astonishing. Got mine from down under about the same year as you. By the time I found it on Ebay, it was gone. Took me 4 months to find mine.
Soar Art is apparently doing another release of this kit. Freetime Hobbies here in the US has a pre order for it and calls it a “limited release”. They want over $1000 for it, but Scalehobbiest has it for $859. Emodels has it the cheapest, but they won’t ship it across the pond.
I love detailing,but i would get lost trying to prioritize which features by how much?Ive just wired my sturmtiger interior,that took me 4hrs! My hat goes off,and heart goes out,to anyone who takes on these dora kits.Great audio book on utube about History of krupp arms.Interested to find out how accurate the kits are,and where designs differ in approach though.
Dear Nigel, Thank you for all this information, it is highly appreciated. The nordland models decal set is no longer available. Now I am trying to create my own, but from the photos in books I cannot find the correct texts. Do you have the wording used on some of the decals? Best regards and keep up the good work!
@@mikaelsjoberg5024 Thank you for the suggestion, but these decals are not the quality I am after. I have used other sets from that company and they are either too large or too thick. Putting them on a kit like this would not be my choice, that is why I am in progress of creating another set
