I do believe that was the company. Pyro's moulds went to Life-Like for awhile and then on to Lindberg. They may still have them.

funny you should mention, i got some email from ernie today. i should ask him. it was an ok kit. but i was about 8, so it was pretty active.
Pachelbel?
i'm pretty sure pyro.
You can get it from SMER now. The old Pyro molds. I recently used it to backdate an 18th century Spanish smoothbore (pics on alt.binaries.models.scale).
It takes a LOT of work to make it decent. When I did the backdating I threw away the field carriage and scratch-built a garrison carriage.
Didn't stop me for ordering another one, though. :-)

i believe i saw the pictures. it was really nice. i would mostly like to just duplicate the childhood build i did, like my ju87, if you saw that. thanks, i didn't want to pay ebay prices for a vintage kit.
I picked up the SMER version at my LHS for around $10.
