dazdot Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Save your money and get the eduard kits. Still got the resin wheels and the plastic is a more sensible colour 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julien Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Given how good the Eduard Plastic is on this one there is not a lot to be done to improve it. Suspect more for the US market than anything. Still cant fault them for trying. Some of the other Encore kits have been worth it. Julien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
