OK

Got the kit in the mail

Much better than I had expected......but no instructions.....

will have to use some reasoning power i guess

I can't read German, is there a translation? Fwd: rotteedad@yahoo.com

Hello, MK fans.
I believe the instructions are in Japanese.
I haven't built any of these kits yet, but they do seem to pretty dang cool. Some of my buddies are into them, and rave about them. They do fill that German armor/science fiction niche!
Just as an aside, they also offer completed fully painted kits.
But that's not for us modelers,eh?

Welll

About half way through the build
Little bit of patience works wonders, figuring where everything goes :)

Looks like it might be a nice kit

Yeah they are nice kits, I have had one stored for I think 10 years PKAH Heinrich. Box got destroyed in an unfortunate leaky pipe incident but the kit survived. Think there used to be a board game based on the different units, want to say it was the Aussies v the Germans as the ruling empires. Havent seen too many around. Where'd you score this one?

Where can you order these? I can never seem to find them.

if you scan the directions, I can try to get my buddies wife to translate it for you?
I'm stationed in germany.

Got mine from Mike Green's website...now gone out of buisiness

But HLJ (Hobby Link Japan) site has some

Hey guys,

You can also do a search on e-bay for these kits. I have one that I built 12 years ago that was a lot of fun, and very well detailed. The kits really don't any modification(unless of course you want to!).

Hey, are there any other MaK heads here? If you want the latest offerings, you should go to Japanese mail order stores for these kits, as the major US distributors have a hard time getting their hands on them. Most of the Mak modelers I know, order from either Rainbow 10 http://www.rainbowten.co.jp/english/index.html or HLJ, www.hlj.com. The best bet is to pre-order what you can, as the production runs of the resin Model Kasten kits is limited and only stay on the shelves because of the price $50-$80 for a few pieces or resin plus some IM pieces. The Nitto IM kits are reasonable $12-$ 35 depending on the kit. Buy in bulk from Japan and even with EMS shipping, you come out way ahead if you bought the same stuff at your LHS.

I have a website of my MaK 3000. former SF3D, biulds if you wish to have a look.

Enjoy.

Ma.K,

Awesome website!! You just might have given me the incentive to try again on my Krote. (Someone started it and used about half a tube of cement. A bit of a mess.)
Wolfp - you are right about Aussies vs Germans, and there were actually two board games - not sure if the second was an add-on to the first or a stand-alone. Excellent printing and graphics, but they are VERY hard to find as Hobby Japan only imported 2,040 each into the U.S.
