Martin,
ReplyDeletecan you comment on the quality of IXO versus Altaya versus Atlas versus Corgi?
In particular poor fitting/large gaps or attention to detail.
Peter
ok, will do.
ReplyDeleteit may take a day or two as u have a few trips to London over the next few days.
Mehusla did post something a while back on the blog (i think it was this blog) I'll did it out and add my thoughts to it!
Peter,
ReplyDeleteJust as there seems to be some variability in quality in the Atlas and Corgi ranges, so too the situation with Altaya/IXO. The two items I have thusfar - the B-17G and He177 - are nice items and, IMHO, quite a deal better than some of the Atlas stuff (I have the latter's Commando and Hampden). For a start, whilst they do have upper and lower fuselage halves, the seam is a lot more subtle than Atlas's "Grand Canyon"!
Mark Taylor showed me his Cant Z1007bis and LeO451. The former is a lovely little item whilst the latter is reasonable. By the same token, Martin was unimpressed by the He111, stating that the Atlas offering was a lot better.
Panel detailing is recessed and there are no oversized rivets to contend with. There are errors - the B-17G has the two machine guns in its ventral blister turret sticking out at right angles to each other! Paint finish is neat and, on my two items at least, markings are accurate.
More info when my batch of eBay purchases arrive from the Netherlands!
