I used my $15 credit paying less than $12 and got it yesterday!

But wait!

Yesterday, I received this e-mail from Hong Kong:

The doorbell just rang and the Meng Model kit #SS-001 VsKfz 617 is here!

I guess they were thrilled with my introducing them to some US distributors which placed an order.

Photographs coming tonight.

Cool! I was just in a hobby shop yesterday with a couple friends when one referred to that Messerschmitt Me-509 as a 'drop tank with wings'. LOL!
 
Saul is leading me astray. When I saw what he had I just had to get my own. So some step sanders (boy are they tiny), a magazine, and the new SdKfz 231.

step sanders (boy are they tiny)

James, I recommend picking up the set of three coarse stepSanders and replacement belts. I have had mine for a while now and the grit has gone from 220 to something much finer. As it loses it grit, I start using another. after I am using all three, it is time to replace the sanding strip from the most worn out. This ensures that I have one that is sharp.

Hold off on your 8 wheeler as AFV club has a few AM sets coming. I don't care for the vinyl tires so look to Hussar Productions to retool their set (designed for Tamiya's) for this kit. Of course, an LMD KwK30 is needed too.

Regards,
