Currently on the lookout for a 1/72 Hunting Pembroke and I've come across some kits in vac and resin bu I'd prefer plastic if possible. Only 2 came up in plastic, an expensive and hard to find Special Hobby and another by a company called Escadron. Anyone ever heard of them or seen this kit?

Forget I'd posted this and meant to update it.
I eventually gave in and bought one from Kingkit and I was very surprised by it. Nice little kit.
Thanks for letting me know you've got one going but I'll leave it for someone else. Good luck with it.

No problem its a nice model too,there's a web site on the model being made aswell, i don't like buying from kingkit as he charges vat on top of the retail price, yet don't charge when selling via eBay! At the mo he's has a few pembrokes it seems!

Not the last time I bought from them, the advertised price was what I paid. The old web store used to have prices exc.vat but the new site has prices inc.vat. A lot of sites work that way. Hannants do and so did White Ensign Models.
They tend to sell stuff cheaper on ebay when they get too much stock of a particular kit or to shift stock that just sits on the shelves. Last thing a business needs is stock not selling and taking up room so best to sell it cheaper. I fond them to be one of the best dealers in vintage and second hand kits.
