Hi...
in addition to IBR's of new or more recent kits I plan to do a few on older kits that are still available.
Sort of "Kits Re-visited" to see how they shape up with todays offerings.
So to whet your appetites...


Any thoughts or comments would be most welcome.

Cheers
Peter

Hi Peter

I know I'm getting old when I see some Planet Models classed as "older kits" , but reviews of such items are definitely welcome!

For one thing, they may be new to some people - we have to remember, a whole new generation of modellers has arrived since some of the classic kits came out... I've got one such review almost ready to go...

Secondly, as you say, it's well worth seeing how they compare to the latest standards - particularly when there's so much re-boxing going on.

All the best

Rowan

Hi
you are right Rowan...
There are many who have not seen the earlier kits.
And as these are still available they are still valid.
So an IBR or two won't go amiss....

Thanks and Cheers
Peter

A number of kits arrived today.
The Planet
Ar AE583, Me P1095, Gotha GoP60C and HsP87.
Any preferences for first IBR?

IBR's soon.

Also just released Aerotech Fw Ta 183 and GoP60A are ordered. IBR's for these too when they arrive.
According to reports these promise to be little gems.
We'll see...lol.

Cheers
Peter

Being old but new to modeling... I’m not familiar with Planet models. Are the offerings above in 1:48 or 1:72 ? Would you possibly have a web site that is selling these models ?

Thanks for your time : Jim

Hi Jim
Planet Resin Models do a big range of all kinds of things in both 1/72nd and 1/48th. The ones above are all 1/72nd.
They do mainly aircraft and some armour plus a few dio extras like oil drums etc.

Both Hannants and Squadron carry big stocks.

Hope it helps.

Cheers
Peter
