Hi there

Further to my review of Fonderie Miniature's Martin Maryland, low and behold... the postman delivered Koster Aero Enterprises' vacuform kit today - all ready for my side-by-side build.

I'll get the camera warmed up ready for a full review but, totally giving the game away ..., a comparison of the two kits is VERY interesting and solves the mystery of the dodgy scribing on the FM wings!

I think it's safe to say neither kit will be a quick build! - expect the side-by-side series to run on the back burner for some time!

Which is the better kit? At a glance, the FM model has far more detailed engines, but Koster's vacuform has a smoother surface, clearer canopies and better decals...

Watch this space... (well, not this one... but a space... somewhere... OK? )
