Testshots of Marder II - (pictures from Missing Lynx forum - Matthias Conrad)

Like the Demag, this one is also moulded by Maco from Germany so the mould quality will be top notch. It looks like the tracks are in two halves this time although I've asked Peter to clarify that for me. It should be out around the end of the year or early next year and when its out I will do a full in-box review for Missing Lynx. ..... Glen Porter (info taken from Missing Lynx.com)

Comments Peter Kuonen:
Der Kit besteht aus 43 fein detailierten Einzelteilen und wurde in einem neuartigen ABS Resine hergestellt. Dieser neuartige PU Kunststoff ist uberraschend flexibel. Die Einzelteile konnen leicht und ohne Beschadigung vom Anguss entfernt werden. Das Verkleben der Einzelteile ist, wie ublich bei diesen Kleinserienprodukten, mit 2K-Klebstoffen (z.B. Araldit 5 Min) und/oder Sekundenkleber (Zyanoacrylate) ohne Schwierigkeiten moglich.

Das Master wurde von Peter Kuonen (MPK) und Michel van den Berghe (MvdB) gebaut.

Information MK72 Modelle - Peter Kuonen

Stuart M5A1 Early / Late
Stuart M8

Zeitaufwendige konstruktive Arbeiten an meinen neuen MK72 Spritzguss - Modellen, haben mich gezwungen die Produktion der PUR - Kits Stuart M5A1 Early / Late, sowie Stuart M8 auf einen späteren Zeitpunkt zu verschieben. Diesbezüglich bleibt die Planung, diese PUR-Modelle mit flexiblen Ketten und gedrehtem Rohr (Stuart M5) auszustatten, erhalten.
Die flexiblen Ketten werden ebenfalls aus einem PUR-Harz gegossen, dass ausgezeichnet geklebt (Cyano) und bemalt (Enamel / Acryl) werden kann.

(info by Michel Van den Berghe - the mastermaker)

The tracks will be fabricated on a machine, because for accuracy, the hand made is to poor.The resin cast of the small tracks will be very flexible, so that they can't break. Two versions will come out,one for the hotter regions and one for the western campain. Each version has two individual figures.
Michel Van den Berghe
