 Subject:  Re: Royal Model Sd.Kfz. 222 kitsList thread.  
  
 Date:  Apr 20, 2006
 From:  John Barnicoat 
The 222 kit has problems but on the other hand no one else produces an interior kit as far as I know. For example, the gun pedestal needs major mods or else the gun sits far too high. There is also an odd mix of features from both old and new versions of the real vehicles. The PE isn't on par with Aber, and the resin parts are just so-so. Still, with a little work it builds up nicely.
As for the price, here in the states they are on the high side, and might not rate too highly on the perceived value scale.
