Magic Factory 1/350 PLA Type 055 Destroyer
Posted by james.m on Monday, April 18, 2022 12:35 AM

Magic Factory, a new brand in China, released a new 1/350 PLA Type 055 Destroyer. It's snap-fit and precolored. Anyone built a snap-fit and pre-colored ship before?

Hi,

I have an Academy model of the Korean LPH Dokdo that I haven'y built yet, but which sounds similar in concept.

Yes, Pat, similar concept, but smaller. Never build a snap-fit and Chinese warship before, I am gonna try one if price good.

I'm curious to see what the finished product looks like.  I recently did the Polaris Mach 5 snap kit and it was pretty impressive in terms of fit - I think snap-fit has come a long way.

Thanks,

John

I've built snaptites of several genres.  I usually glue it, make mods, and paint and decal it myself.

Yes John, you are right. It's said to be nice, haven't seen one yet. I am gonna get one to have a try on snap-fit too.

nice, I can go either way, make it as it is or as tradional kit. I got three kids at home, maybe snapt-fit will save me a little bit from my wife's grumble. Wink
