CONCLUSIONS | |||||||
I consulted on the design and development of this set, so I may be a bit biased. But in my opinion, these aircraft are best plastic 1/350 aircraft available now. I like the fact that you can buy them as a set or by each aircraft type. Those of you that want a full airwing on deck can now have it for a fair price. I am sure that many modeler may want to replace the aircraft in some of the other kits already on the market too. |
