Help or am i being lazy

[David Lovell]

Many moons ago I built the hobbyboss 223 armoured car funk wagon thing this was heavily embellished with a photo etch set even down to the spring clip racks for the stick grenades on the inside talking to some of the club lads(socially distanced across the internet) I said how I'd learned a lot since then and wouldn't mind another stab at it ,the kit is easy enough to find but struggling finding the etch I honestly cant recall if it was aber or eduard pretty sure it wasn't hauler I've trolled through pages of it but keep coming up blank.
If anybody knows of a site where it tells you the what and wheres for of each kit I'd be much obliged. Dave

David he has a photographic memory for these things!
That model looked really good that you showed .

[David Lovell]

Sadly it seems the etch set is no longer in production even eduard themselves haven't got it in stock ,it is to cost prohibitive to purchase from the states plus you run the gauntlet with customs so thinking cap back on I just fancied a holiday away from the 4BO

Nothing worse than knowing the etch existed but is now all gone.......

Hi Dave

Pity they are now OOP - I have three of the HB 22x cars in the stash
Mind you, probably a good thing as that etch set is not cheap - it will force me to make my own bits

Currently have a Tamiya 223 on the go

Good luck with the hunt

Not an easy one to find! https://www.hobbyeasy.com/en/data/qs...03xjnbfws.html I've used Hobbyeasy a few times for PE & decals..........

Gary they were out of stock ,Dave thanks for your help but I think with this one now I might change track and go for one of the ICM panhards ,thanks to all who have helped but I'll keep this dream in the pipe for now. Dave

[Dave Ward]

David,
The ICM Panhards are very nice models, You have a complete interior, which you can actually see, as there are plenty of hatches you can leave open - I did the Command version, which has large aerials & extra wireless sets. Oddly enough the ICM model has been reboxed not only by Revell, but by Tamiya as well - at a higher price!
