Hey All
Just a quick note on S-Models resin releases of these 2 Canadian W.W.II veterens.Both of these kits are not built for beginners or the faint of heart. The castings are course with lots of air bubbles and excess flashing everywhere. Much like Eastern European plastic kits, they are about 10 - 15 years behind the skill levels of some of the more established resin manufacturers. There is the ever present warping in some of the larger surfaces, especially on the Sexton. Both of these kits will present challenges, even for the more experienced builders out there but they are certainly welcome editions that will never be touched by the major plastic manufacturers. This is (as far as I know) the only Ram on the market at this time and at first glance the most accurate. There is another Sexton on the market, but it is almost twice the price of this unit. Both of these kits and other products by S-Models are available on-line at Military Hobbies.
