Hi All
I have some old (about 25 years) Esci aircarft kits that I found that I still had stashed at my parents house. How are the quality and accuracy of these?
Thanks

Hi David

They varied. Which kits have you got? Depending on the condition, you might be better advised to think of them in terms of collectors' interest.

All the best

Hi David!

They are all bad! Don't waste your time with them and send them to me! :-)

Seriously, what kits do you have? I only have one original ESCI kit: the 1/48 Fi 156 Storch. I also have AMTech's Hs 123 wich is a reboxed ESCI model. They both show their age (raised panel lines) but are good in my opinion. The Storch is the only 1/48 injected model available... so it's an interesting kit.

Hi David:

As Jean Luc has said it depends. T
There are some good ones and others bad.
Here in Argentina they were very popular in the 80´s. Nowdays it´s dificult to find them in the hobbyshops.
I knew the Esci Harrier AV-8A and it really is a nice kit.
Here you have some reviews:

Hope this help

D'oh!
I guess I should know by now to be more specific.
The kits are all 1/48:
Northrop F5E
KFIR C2
AJ-37 Saab Viggen
F16A
Mig Flogger D

And I just found the old Italieri F-19 Stealth Fighter - What they thought the F-117 was going to look like.
