Hi guys, I wondered if any of you have built ship/submarine kits from Mirage Hobby? I believe they are a Polish company and wondered how they were regarding quality as here in the UK they are very cheap to buy and they have a British U class sub that I'm interested in buying.

There 1/400 Polish Destroyers and torpedo boats are very nice kits!
Good fit and highly detailed. They are a bargain at there price!
Cant say about there subs, I never have built them.
But if there other kits are any indication, they should be great.
HTH,
Garry

Thanks Gary, I think I will order one. I was a little put off by the fact that the kit contains resin and etched parts and still only cost £5. I have a habit of "looking a gift horse in the mouth."
