| QUOTE: Nice haul Bill. What are your thoughts on the 251 and Pak 40? |

Sorry about taking so long to get back, but I'm sat in front of my computer with the boxes beside me, so let's have a look! Btw, pmms does great reviews of these kits. First, the Pak. The instructions look ok. All line drawings but pretty clear, and not at all crowded. One thing is that the paint scheme on the box is not shown in the instructions. I haven't seen any flash, nor any obvious ejector pin marks, although there are some parting lines.
Now the 251 D. There are lots of parts! With three options, that's a given. I think the instructions are cramped. Again, with three options, there is a need for a lot, and they tried to cram them into a few pages as possible. There are a ton of painting options, 11 for the 1/D. One really neat bit is that there is the choice of using pre-cut indies(late pattern), or the early patterns on the sprues. They are small, but look clean. The instructions aren't really clear about how they go together. Both look ok. I hope I don't have the same fit problems I had with the Dragon Firefly!
