Re: 5 Star Models Kit Quality Question

I can't comment on the Gainful; I don't think it has been released.



However, I have their 2S6 Tunguska and it is a great kit. At first I thought it was over-scale, but measurement revealed it to be correct. It is a BIG vehicle. The only think I don't care for is the tracks. I am trying to come up with something equivalent.

I recently picked up the 2S6M myself and agree it's a nice kit. Almost no air bubbles or defects that I can see. The quality of the Tunguska made me not hesitate to pick up the SA6 kit, which is out (Mission Models has them). There are photos of the unpainted kits at the Jadar site.
