Maquette Models (from Russia)...
Posted by Anonymous on Monday, February 16, 2004 9:00 AM
Hey, there- I'm currently into my second aero kit, as I've never build anything but ships for 25+ yrs ! My question is, has anyone built a subject offered by Maquette of Russia? They offer a Vickers Vimy WW 1 kit in 1/72 scale, and am thinking about building a replica of the Alcock & Brown flight to Australia. Am a bit weary of building the Frog kit, as it's so old! Any info would be great! Thank you- Craig

i have the Hendly Page Herald from this manufacturer and its a kit i have been after for years. the reason i havn't built it yet is that almost every part, and i mean EVERY SINGLE PART except the windshield is warped, and in the case of the wings and fuselage badly warped. i don't know if all their kits are like this but if possable i would open the box and check before buying if i wher you (don't forget to ask the retailer first tho). hope this helps and hasn't put you off getting one. saying that i am going to get their vickers viking kit soon but i will check the contents first.
