Power Armor Model kits

[bubbathudd]

Greetings,

I found your web-site and wondered if you could help me. When I was young (back in the '70s) I remember an intrigueing series of model kits of futuristic power armor/robots set in a European Alternate WWII/WW III type setting in one of the better hobby shops in Phoenix AZ.

I remember the kits looking rather plausible - not flashy like the later Japanese "mecha" genra. I think they were 1/48 scale, and I seem to recall them being of German manufacture. One of the kits bore a strong resemblance to the "Buffalo" miniature on the AE-WWII page. Was this possibly inspired by these old kits?

I know that's not much to go on, but do you know where I could get more information tracking these obscure kits down?

You are looking for SF3D which is what I also grew up with and is now also called Ma.K. The scale is 1/20 and 1/35.

Great site and he has written several articles for HM magazine.

Hope this helps and welcome to the forum.

Cheers!

Borrowed porn from friends instead of downloading it.

Wait, you were talking about something else...
