No, but you know us modelers, who do not have a longer unit of lenght in our
rulers than a millimeter...

Try that kint made by a Czech (will it be Slovak) company of KP (Kovozavody
Prostelov). It is quite decent; I would not try Airfix or Matchbox if KP
available. My sourcebook gives this list for injection 72nd scale Mk. VIII/IX 
kits:

Frog/Novo VIII/IX
Danbury   IX
Lindberg  IX
Lotnia    IX
Airfix    IX
Matchbox  IX
KP        IX
Lotnia    IX UTI

I would try either KP or Matchbox/Airfix combination: the others I do abhor.
