Country:  | i wouldn't touch them myself, i tried building a few of their kits a few years ago and had nothing but trouble, i like trumpeter , tamiya , hasegawa and academy kits are pretty good but you could always buy a photoetch and resin detail kit to put on them aswell, get alot more detail that way |

Country: | I don't mind Airfix Jason. Cheap and simple good for grafting your skills on.
Well priced too.
The above kits are great Hainus and the lovely detail sets but they are rather expensive, for me anyway.

Country:  | I agree with Alex.  Not all Airfix kits are of bad quality.For instance I have the old Airfix 1/72 scale Bf109E-3/4 kit and missing the point of the raised panel lines the model fits to drawings very good contrarry to the Academy one. But If somebody doesn't like the kind of models .....For me these can be used for getting better skills, for sure.

Country:  | Have any of you ever built any kits by Araba? I just got their old 1/48 Ta-183 kit (it's a resin and white metal kit) And I was wondering if their kits usually fit good etc. | |
