Eduard kits

[N4521U]

Am just working on the MK-22/24 kit. My first after a very long layoff. Seams to be pretty nice so far. First time working with a detail cockpit, a lot more work to fit than I thought one might be. PE sheet included. Cost $95 AU over here, I staggered around the shop for a while after seeing that. I think the last kit I bought in the US might have been $20 US. It's an Airfix with Eduard extras. Hope this helps. cheers, Bill

So personally, ICM is now part of my "brands to avoid" list. The only exception I am making, is concerning their figure sets which are great. (I have built a few of them.)

Masetro, if you're paying that, go somewhere else and tell the owner of your store that you are unlesss he reduces the price. I picked up the ICM Spitfire IX with ground crew for $22US on line. Even with shipping and exchange rate (which is good right now) you'll still come out ahead.

I agree with Terry on this one. The Spitfire 1/48 IX kit is excellent value and beats all others in it's catgory for accuracy of scale, even Hasegawa. Yes, there's lots of flash and you have to take care on assembly but for the price, you can't beat it.

Ellis, I have the Eduard Bf-110 C and am overall very satisfied with the kit. Go here for details:

That's exactly what I'm doing... I'm a happy customer of Squadron.com for several years, now (since our Dollar got to parity with the USD).

I'm still going to that store to get my paint, though. Because it is the only hobby shop in Québec City (that I'm aware of) and that shipping costs would be exessive if I ordered that by mail.
