That's one outlet I've not heard of before. :| Do they have something you'd like to buy, or do you have a problem with an order you've made with them?

Yes, Wespe is all resin (they've been on ebay for at least the last four years), and while they're great kits, they're not well suited for RC conversion. The kits like the 88s can make excellent battlefield accessories, and I imagine a kitbash with a proper lower tank hull would work out well. Just beware if you've never done resin before, it's not like styrene kits at all.

They make some very nice kits. The ready built stuff is not too expensive considering the work that goes into assembly and paint with a resin kit. I've purchased some small kits and parts from them and they were very good quality. :thumbup:
Tanks alot.... :wave:
