Woo hoo!

Hobby Market came through!

Came across this vendor/distributor in ~~Germany~~ Greece when crawling through the webs looking for WW2 Italian vehicles.
Ordered a Pavesi Artillery Tractor (which I posted here a while back). Unfortunately, when I opened the box marked 1:35, it was clearly mis-packaged with 1/72 kit parts...

I went back to Hobby Market to be sure I had ordered the right thing, and clicked on the Text Help, and someone answered immediately!
I posted a pic of the contents beside a ruler, and the gentleman assured me that they would contact the seller right away, not to worry, he would take care of it.
Ya, right! As if?!

Well, got home just now from my favourite LHS (where I traded an Otter... not used in North Africa) for some other stuff... and what was waiting in my mailbox?
And the right scale!

From my LHS, to add to African French stash along with a good read and some vintage looking palm trees:
