What In-Box-Review would you like?

Dear All,
I am in prep for more In Box Reviews, but wondered if you have any preferences?
Bearing in mind I’m not going to rush out and buy a kit because you want a review of it...lol

Below is a list of kits in my stash, some recent issues and some not so new.
Please let me know which ones you’d like to see reviewed and I’ll do it.

You can vote for more than one kit.

No shonen,
but there are a few jets that might be considered "sires" of some modern blowers.

I have always wondered how the Uni Craft models were. Are they pretty nice? I know they are very hard to get, but I have heard they are worth the hassle and price. I have seen a couple built up at shows, but I never found the builder to ask her how much work she had to do to build them. I know thay have a lot of flash, but is the surface detail pretty decent?

:-) Peter, are any of them 1/48? If so that's what I would be interested in :-)

Hi Peter

I'd be interested to hear what the Planet models are like. :-)

All the best

Thank you to the few....

I will be doing a review in the near future on the Eduard Profipack Me 410.
See its not all luft 46.

And in answer to the "masses" of replies I will do:

a Unicraft one or two for DaveMan.
Generally they need a lot more work than say a Planet, and need a lot of cobbling in the cockpit detail area, but they do turn out nicely.

For Merlin a couple of Planets, the two most recent ones...Me T Lietwerk and the Bv P170.

And to Mal...sorry I don't do 1/48th. I'm a bit of a traditionalist I suppose and only do 1/72nd.
Mainly because all my collection is that scale and I just don't have room for anything bigger. When I get back home I will probably slip a 1/48th in just for the experience.

So to all the rest I can only say you had your chance...lol

Thanks again to all those who bothered.
Cheers
Peter
