I want to know if there is any reviews of these little sympathetic, easy-to-build and very cheap ( ) aircraft kits

Hello Nick. I have never built a Hobbyboss kit, but I have seen both the fixed wing and rotary wing kits opened. The detail is really nice and I think they are a very good deal for the price. Pick one up and see for yourself. I recommend one. I own the Huey UH-1C kit and it is really got good detail. Hope this helps you out some. Russell

Thanks

Cheers Nick

I built the Dora. It is indeed easy you hardly need glue let alone filler. Nice crisp moulding though.

The engine is all wrong, no cockpit not that you can see anything in a Dora in that scale. Decals were incorrect and those I could use wouldn't come off the backing sheet. Used aftermarket decals on it.

That said I wouldn't be put off another one it's a good fun build.

I think I prefer Academy or Airfix for bang for buck.

Academy because they generally have nice detail for a decent prices.
And airfix cos they can be picked up so cheap second hand.

Oh thanks
Any sprue photos

Cheers Nick

no problemo amigo,

Lol

I love ww2 Germans (this wirbelwind too ) But is quite old for an A-10


Cheers Nick

Never underestimate the Wirbelwind..
But perhaps you are right, perhaps the Stinger carried on the back here is more appropriate..

Nice vehicle (I love that Airplaner-Tanker conversation ).

my BF-109 (I have build one ) is on the way with the MG-FF 20mm ready

But I think we must stop to be

Hi Nick

I've built quite a few Hobby Boss warbird kits. They usually come with the wings and fuselage as single pieces, but if the model depicted is a radial engined aircraft it will usually have a sepparate cowl and a decently detailed engine. Most of the major parts like the fuselage and wings will fit together without the use of glue, but the elevators and other details will need glueing. If you want a quick and fun build, i'd suggest getting some of them.

Hope this helps ya out

Thank you.

Cheers Nick
