1/72 scale Kit Reviews


All reviews below are in Adobe Acrobat (.pdf) format.

To read them I suggest you use either Adobe Acrobat Reader or Foxit Reader . Adobe Acrobat Reader will also install a plugin to allow pdf reading with your browser. Unfortunately Foxit Reader does not come with a browser plugin but it does have the the advantage in that it is a stand alone executable which does not need to be installed into Windows and can run directly from a USB/flash/thumb drive.

Reviews were converted into pdf format using the Pdfcreator print driver. For those of you who want to generate your own pdf documents, pdfcreator is available as a free software download from .

Other Build Reviews

Below is a selection of kit build reviews by persons other than myself. I have not included "In the Box" style reviews since they tend to be about as usefull as "a screen door on a submarine", as they say. Having built enough kits, I know that what looks good in the box can be misleading, and the only true way to tell a kit's worth is to actually build it.
