Anyone heard of this company? How’s the quality? I ask because the latest Squadron flyer has a 203mmB-1 mod. 1931 russian artillery piece for a really good price, not good enough to take a chance but the cheapest I’ve seen.
They were one of the first Eastern European companies that started offering Soviet Block armor back in the late '90s. They are typical Eastern European with heavy details and not a lot of finesse. They did make some unique pieces, but a lot of thier stuff is now available from other companies.
Bottom line, if you can find it from another compay, I would get the other company’s model.
I agree with Gino, avoid unless you really have to have that subject. Also Google for reviews of the particular kit; sometimes it is so bad it will change your mind about having to have that subject.
Thanks guys, nope its not an absolute must have so I think I’ll save my money and get the trumpeter offering, or some one else by the time I’m ready to purchase. Thanks again
my ZSU-23/2 gun had wheels but no instructions on how to mount them. i suspect because it came from the truck mounted kit. of course, after i bought it, trumpeter came out with one,. and i found a revel GAZ-66 4x4 truck at a vendor sale. easy enough to figure out but i doubt i’ll buy anymore from them.
That’s the rebox of the old and woeful Alan kit

You get what you pay for.
Well, here’s what you can do with one of these kits… click the Pic.
Obviously, without a doubt - the price beats the tracks off the other kits!
WOW that is cool, in the right hands even a pigs ear can become a silk purse. Still probably gonna hold off buying anything til after graduatuon and obtainment of gainful employment. Thanks for the link I will go back and read in detail after class.
I’m a fan of the BT-7 kits. They take a little work compared to the Tamiya kit, but they build up very nicely. I’ve done one of their BA-6 armored cars as well. You need aftermarket and have to add rivets, but the end product is good.
