Gentlemen, and ladies, if there are any present....
I have an opportunity to buy a few kits at a decent price, or at least what I think is decent. However, they are mostly manufacturers that I haven't built: Protar, Academy and Hasegawa. I'm familiar with the names, just never built any of their F1 offerings. Before I "invest", I thought I would put out some feelers and get some real builders opinions as to the quality, etc. Price wise (in Canadian dollars), the Protars are 1/24 for 25 to 30 each, The Hasegawa are mostly their figures at 15 a kit and the Academy's are going for 60 for 1/20 scale. I'm usually a Tamiya buyer and believe they have pretty high quality so that would be my yardstick, as it were.
Just a general yay or nay will suffice, however, if you want to point out the good and bad, I'm all ears...or eyes, in this medium, I guess.
Thanks!
