Vermin King, Mike - was there an ABC version?

I have kept quite extensive records on the ABC models, and have been through these and also searched on the Internet.

No luck at all.

Anyone with any idea of an issue number or year issued so I can search further?

As memory serves me (which could be wrong), when Robototehnik came up with his model, someone mentioned that the textures were so much better than on the ABC model. So I assumed that there was one. Maybe not

Thank you for the response. I will continue to look.

The textures on the ABC models are often very "heavy". as well as lines, so Robototehnik would be a visual improvement.

The ABC models still remain one of my favorites though - many different subjects, often fairly simple, and they have a feel all of their own which I love!

No problem - I'll have a word with a friend in Czech who's a bit of a Guru about ABC.

Cheers
Mike

I've spoken to my friend in Prague and he tells me that ABC never made a kit.

There's no mention of it in the ABC archive web site

Cheers
Mike

That's what I suspected. Thanks, Mike.

However, it is possible some other Eastern model was produced. Will carry on the Internet search.

Well, looks like I took 2 and 2 and got 3. No doubt there is another model, just not from ABC. Anyway, this one still came out really good
