Got the Biber this weekend. Box is the size of a 1/35th kit and the kit itself does rattle around in it somewhat due to compact sprues and small plastic bags it is all packed in. That said the kit when built will be a monster in this scale, over 40cm with the bridge at full extension.Initial look confirms Revells usual high standard but why can't the hazard lights be supplied as separate parts and is the bridge decking supposed to be so smooth?
I have also bought the new Stug 111. Again nice kit but as Christophe has noted on previous postings the return rollers are the wrong type completely and the box picture clearly shows the triangular shaped schurzen brackets on the front fenders but are not in the kit. This can easily be rectified but the rollers cannot be converted to the correct type. Does anyone know of a source for late type rollers, The Alemany stug 111g perhaps??

Overall 2 good kits well worth getting.

Cheers Mark
