Mabstab kits

Anyone have any experience with Mabstab kits? Particularly the Bismarck or the Graf Spee? What are the kits like? The quality? Instructions? Any photographs?
Thanks!
Phil

Thanks, herk. There's a guy selling a couple of Mabstab models on ebay but I could not find any info on the kits . All I cAn tell is that they are German, so probably good but it would be nice to know for sure.

Methinks the seller is a little confused! The word "maßstab" simply means "scale", so most German kits will say that somewhere.

The ones I saw on ebay do look like Wilhelmshaven kits.

Herk and Alan,
Thanks for the help. Both of you are indeed correct. The models are Wilhelmshaven kits, not "Mabstab"!

Having said that, any one have any experience at all with Wilhelmshaven kits? Build quality? Instructions quality? Pics?
