kits made by Alan? Are they decent or a lesson in frustration?

They are very atractive but need a lot of sanding and filling. It is good to add PE sets to their kits.

I have their PzKpfw II Ausf C and think it is a nice kit. I also have a couple of others. The Marder II D is a bit fidgety. I also have the PzKpfw I Ausf F. Haven't opened the kit but in the plastic it looks all right.

The Marder II D is a bit fidgety. .


That figures, that is the one I have !! Actually it is pretty unique and I look forward to building it.

If they are anything like the Marquette kits, they have to be thick and heavy. I have built one of the Marquette kits, and that sucker has to weigh as much as three Tamiya kits (completed.)
Ciao for now
