M.V. "BATORY" in 1/400 by MIRAGE
Posted by tankerbuilder on Friday, January 7, 2011 7:30 AM

I just thought I would give a heads up on this model.Guys ,Number one , this ship is in 1/500 scale and because it is molded in an almost translucent white plastic ,it,s hard to figure out what detail is or is not there.Number two , and the most important comment.If you don,t have acces to a POLISH speaking friend and you,ve never built one of MIRAGE,S kits before pass this one up!!.The instructions are very confusing which in and of itself is not good.The fact that they are ALL in POLISH including the paint callouts makes this a hard kit to wade through.The parts ,because of the scale, aresmall and fiddley.I would NOT, repeat NOT,recommend this kit to anyone with less than 20 kits built under their belt.I like commercial vessels and that,s why I bought it.The price isn,t bad but , the drawbacks make it too expensive at half the price!!  I have other MIRAGE kits and this is the first time I have had a problem with their products.      tankerbuilder
