Pic related, flyhawk 1/700 raft vs. a Trumpeter 1/700 raft from 2007.
I'm working on the Trumpeter kit right now, but there's so much work to get it in good shape. Also, the shitty White Ensign Models photo etch set I got to spice it up is pretty terrible, and has the worst set of instructions I've ever seen. None of the photo etch is even numbered and it's incredibly fragile due to how thin it is.
>>6040557Yeah, Meng is another quality Chinese manufacturer (or are they in HK?)
Too bad almost all the other Chinese manufacturers cut corners, or pump out inaccurate kits. Trumpeter and Hobby Boss DO have some good kits, but you have to search through a pile of rubbish to find them. For example, they have these incredible 1/200 scale ships, and just recently released a massive 1/48 U-boat (Seriously look this shit up, it's god damn impressive).
Also, aren't Hobby Boss / Trumpeter basically the same company?
