I have 4 of those, and have about 80 sf3d and mak kits,they are great to build and are worth every penny.
I too am building the new Gans, itll be painted in an ambush scheme.
if you want to see a "pak" krote, I have some pics posted in the scifi forum a few pages back, theres also some pics of a jerry and an Mk3 raccoon and a "skinhead" scratch build.

These 2 sites should help.
I've been doing Ma.K kits for years now and have just posted my latest in this forum as my first post. I have 2 Krotes, so I wont put in an offer, but if you do sell I would think around $30-40. You can still buy them from HLJ when they have stock.
Personally I would build it, I'm finding that all the tips I've learned from the military guys works a treat on these kits.

Thanks for the info. I think I'll just keep it on the shelf, for now anyway.

Those kits were orriginally released some 25yrs plus, but still are among the best out there. They include metal-parts, etc.

Enjoy it it is a great kit. Search the forum for SF3D or Maschienenkrieger many posts and pics regarding those kits. I love them and am busy on a Gans.

Nitto is a small kit manufacturer in Japan that came out of retirement to re-issue those kit, they ahd a BIG fight with Hobby Japan(Bandai) over some issues and the kits were suspended for 20+yrs.

Thanks for the welcome! I've been prowling for a little while and finally thought I would contribute.
I'm sure there are some people out there who know a lot more about these kits though.
So, are you gonna build it or sell it?

The kit you are describing is a pretty rare Sci-Fi kit. I think they are supposed to be kind of an alternate future armor ideas. I don't know a whole lot about the series, but I think the kits were originally made by MA.K and then reissued or distributed by Nitto.(something like this) Anyway, a lot of sci-fi builders look for these kits and they usually go for a good price.(or you could always just send it to me and I'll take care of it ha ha!) They have a reputation of being good quality kits but I haven't personally built one. You should have no problem finding a buyer for it.

A freind recently gave me a few kits that he had purchased over the years, but never opened or built. Among them was a kit that I am totally unfamiliar with, a KROTE Panzer Aufkalarungs T.W-47. It appears to be a Mech Warrior type of model, apparently some fantasy futuristic German Armor. Box says it's 1/20 scale from a company called MA. K. or Nuitto, not sure as the box label is a little confusing. The copyright on the box is dated 1997. The kit box is mint, still in the original shrink wrap. I asked about it at the LHS, but the owner drew a blank. He thought Bandai had released such a kit, but this is definitely not a Bandai box. I'm tempted to open it & take a look, but thought I'd check here first. Is this one I should build, sell on eBay or pitch ?
