Anyone have experience with "Kitech" brand kits? I think they are Chinese, but not sure. How is the detail on kits from these guys?

Hi dewmanbach,
Yes I have had experience with these kits & they are from China. Be warned they could be copy's Im not quit sure. They are alright in some places YOU WILL NEED PUTTY LOTS OF PUTTY !!!!!! The fits are a bit dodgy but overall i would rate them about 45% if im being lenient. If you can scratchbuild you could use them as a base kit, just an idea. If you want to buy it they make a pretty basic result but if you have good skills you could make one up looking alright. What kits are you interested in by the way.

There is an A-10 kit on ebay I was thinking about. The price is decent. But I think I'll pass. Thanks for the input Sabastian.
