Hi Patrick,

RVG reboxed a number of other brands too, such as DML (SdKfz.250, Jagdtiger, etc.), AFV (M88), and some Eastern European producers. That means that if the 'exclusive' availability of RVG is the item, there are serious choices to make on the quality of the kit you buy. The DML reboxing usually don't have the PE included, but I still consider them to be a tat better then then the Italerei kits. The kits produced by RVG itself, eg. Panzerhaubitze 2000, transportpanzer, Luchs are rather crude. So if you look at a RVG box, ask yourself: do I know this particular kit from a 'A' brand? Because if that's the case, there is a good chance it is a (often slightly downgraded) 'A' brand kit. BTW, I think the RVG Leopard I kits, Italerei reboxing too, to be much better kits then the Leopards II.

Cheers,
Alex
