Pretty much the way I advertised the two I sold on E-bay. I think I stated that they were the most execrable model kits made BUT they had merit in being usable as paint and glue test bucks. The F-5 looks to be accurate for the prototype and the AlphaJet wasn't half bad. I have no idea whose kits they copied.

At the prices of kits these days it does not figure that your going to give your 8 yr old son a 40$ kit to start out on. A buck a model when I was growing up was an expensive kit at the time. These kits a really good for the beginer or for a kitbash of an experimental hoosits. So, there not as bad as you think they are. Just not in your ability range anymore. But great for someone interested in getting used to working with a kit, and learning how and gaing knowledge of the hobby. Ya'll have a good new year with your projects :)

Bad thing...

When you give a beginning modeller kid a kit like that. It will find out that NOTHING fits and that it will never turn out the way it should be. This will probably turn it from modeling permanent.

My experience.

Bert-Jan,

Are you familiar with these fora?

Some kids just want to build a model and they don't care about things we fuss over. Some of my earliest pieces probably weren't fit too well either and I know I used way too much glue. But I had a plane!

Hi Ron.

I have just sgned in at the modelbouwforum, looks very impressive. There is a lot of RC about, which is not my cup of tea at all, but the plastic model part looks very promising and I am sure to be visiting it frequently.

Bedankt voor de tip!!

Groeten,

hey, that's me most of the time. a good reason to be an armor fan. blow a seam, lousy paint job?

hey that is what mud, tarps and battle damage are for! fixes just about everything. and a dessert topping too!
