AIR: Anybody have experience with Anigrand modelkits?

Aug 10, 2005 4 Replies

Hi all,



While browsing the net I came across the site of Anigrand. They produce a model kit of the North American XF-108 Rapier, which would look fantasic standing next to my XB-70 Valkyrie!



Anybody have experience with this manufacturer? How are the kits of Anigrand?



Thanks in advance,

Marco,

I made the Anigrand Yak-141 - I thought it was an excellent kit - the resin was well detailed and bubble-free, the instructions were good, conopy excellent and a good decals sheet.

The panel detail was a bit too deep - but other than that, I would highly recommend it.

for reviews of several Anigrand kits. I can't see one for the XF-108 specifically, but several others get reviewed.

Do the undercarriage legs in their kits come reinforced at all? Can't see resin u/c legs holding the weight of some of the kits up....

I'll get back to you - in five years !!

Seriously though, my Anigrand Yak-141 is in a cardboard transportation box - the only time it comes out is at model shows.

It's next appearance will probably be at the IPMS UK Nationals in Telford - on the Soviet A/C SIG stand.

So the resin legs/weight is not really an issue for me - but I take you point about strength.
