Actually I like 1/48 as well. I have been keeping an eye on them on e-bay fro quite some time. But the bandia are a bit pricey. I have several of the Zhendufu/Kitech kits. The range from poor to poor by most standards but I still enjoy building them. The Abrams, Challenger 1, Merkava and the M2 were the best ones I've bought with the M2 still being the poorest of the lot. I even posted the abrams on this site. Cutting the flash and making them look good is part of the challenge for me.
To show how poor one of the kits is I have the M-60 Marine tank with passive armor. Nice box art but what you get inside is obviously a VERY old mold with a couple of passive armor panels for the front and a small panel I assume you are supposed to "cut to fit" even though there isn't enough panels to even do half the job. I bought some evergreen plastic, which I happened to find in the EXACT pattern by the way, and have already started cutting out the proper panels based on reference photos. They also have often very vague instructions. The M2 I just got has the "new" M2a3
Iraqi freedom type armor on the box art but what you get in the box is a standard M2 with the 'old style' original armor. WTF?!
I could never recommend these kits to any serious modeler but like I said I still enjoy building them. Go figure.
