Absolute garbage for model ships. Better off grabbing up the trumpeter models. I've done lots of models from all brands and Atlantis is simply the worst.
I quite like the Trumpeter ship models, too, and have made the 1/350 liberty ship John S Brown. However, I find the Aoshima, Hasegawa, Fujimi, and Tamiya destroyers and cruisers quite magnificent kits.
Hmmm first I've heard of this company or the spitfire? Guess I've been outta touch more than I thought eh? Haha. Kit looks great as it would need to be in that range due to so much competition.
Well, that's not what I was expecting. Looks to have a serious lack of detail given the price! No engine, split tyres with molded hubs, landing gear moulding looks soft and so does the cockpit. I'm pulling out of this one. Over hyped kit.
@@MrJstone00 Yes, I know, but there is still some detail even when flush rivets. But I am no expert, seems like a good kit, the manual is Wingnut quality 👍
Great review of what appears to be a beautiful kit. For me, I prefer a lower parts count with precise molded in detail, especially at this scale because it will end up on the display shelf much sooner. Anxiously awaiting my copy from New Zealand. I’m located in West Central Pennsylvania.
ngl, I'm disappointed to see so much moulded-on detail (cockpit, air intakes etc.) I'll await other reviews, but I'm now in two minds over this kit (set)
Understandable, but I do a lot of ship kits where there are plenty of tiny bits and pieces, so this is going to be a more relaxing build, and just the painting, weathering and decals to provide a challenge.
@@PiperStart Moulded-on details make sense at 1:350 or 1:700, where the parts are teeny-tiny, but at 1:32 and this price point It's really not encouraging. But all that really matters is you have fun!
Dear Max, I am very pleased that you managed to put up what appears to be the first video of this much awaited kit. Mine is enroute from NZ and I am looking forward to seeing mine when it arrives! Good luck with the project! Regards, Z
