Hi guys, I've been looking for the IBG Scammel Pioneer Recovery vehicle in the USA and can't find any vendor that has one. Are all the US vendors just out of stock or is there some other reason they don't have them. Does anyone have any information on if/when they will be available again?
Thanks
Charlie

It is available online internationally. Do you not shop online?

Hi, thank you for the reply to my question. Sorry to say I do not purchase out of the country. I've had some bad purchases in the past, one where my cc number was stolen so I only buy from the larger stores like Scale-hobbyist and Sprue Brothers. Scale-hobbyist had it at one time but has sold it out and never gotten a reorder. I was just curious as to what happened to it.

I would add the Thunder Scammels rate better in reviews...good luck!

Hi. I'll check into that but I will look into the Thunder Model kit too. Again, thanks for replying

Just to say, I have the IBG and the Thunder models.
The TM kit is a mile better than the IBG kit..
If you still want the IBG kit you can buy mine via PayPal if you like?

That's the best sales pitch I have seen this year
Happy New Year / Robin

I have dealt with Modelfactory123 and their service is top notch.
If you are worried about your credit card use paypal, never had an issue and I shop a lot online.
Mind you, your reason for not shopping internationally is similar to my reason for avoiding US sellers, been ripped off a few times and the shipping costs are stupid to say the least. One retailer is willing to ship at a reasonable rate, about twenty dollars (US) for a whole kit. On the other side of the coin, the kit is twenty the shipping is forty five.
