Hello:
Anyone any experience with "Zvezda" sailing ship kits?
A local hobby shop features some of them. Typically I do not kvetch on kit prices, though my salary as an employed PhD student is relatively modest and everyday a cigar costs money too.
But a man in front of a shelve full of kits must be in a same situation as a woman in front of a shelve full of clothes; with the exception that kits are more usefull.
I find the Zvezda prices fairly high. Okay, as I got it they have the sailing ropes included (my Pinta from Heller has none; however I have a lot of old ropes at my disposal from wooden sailing ship kits).
Zvezda must be from the East that is the reason why I was bit surpised about their prices.
Are they worth the money: I mean what value is in their kits?
Regards,
Katzennahrung
PS: e.g. Zvezda kits at (a very rough rule of thumb in the lon run: 1$ equals 1 Euro); the following kit costs about $50:
