I just got my kit paid $30.00 and was not very happy.I like the kit but to many sink marks and lots of melted plastic on important parts.I couldnt wait to get but its nothing a I cant fix or scratch build . Also are there any books on these water craft I know squadron has one but Im looking for a more exstensive review of the landing craft.


Thanks

I have heard nothing but bad about that overpriced kit. I think Squadron just crashed the price on this one. Probably would have been better off buying the Lindberg for half the price for the amount of work you'll end up doing
