Update:
There will also be a limted run 500 limted edition of thie series with the "BRAVO" moniker, possibly 25 July at Summer Wonderfest 2010.... Key your ebay eyes ready!
IMHO their Hornet is nicer than Revell's. The Prowler & Viking are very good too!
ReplyDeleteWish they would produced them as kits like their F-4S.
This is the only game in town for the Viking, other than the impossible to find resin kits, which were very challenging even to advanced modelers.
ReplyDeleteThe prowler is much better than the DML kit, with much more overall detail and refined shape. Definitely worth picking up.
The F-18s are also outstanding with correct wing shapes and nice overall detail. I agree that these are actually nicer than Revell, but not as cheap to buy.
Every once in a while one of the usual ebay sellers puts them on sale and you can save a few dollars/euros/pounds. The only drawback with all of this is that they come painted and it's a pain to strip it off to re-do.
Algernon has really improved their quality as of lately. This set, the if series, and the dive bombers were beautifully done. The Helldiver is a masterpiece and very inexpensive to attain. Let's hope they keep it coming with some new subject matter!
