Looking at one of two versions of their M1 anti tank and I am not familiar with this company. Usually I can search around and find someones build log on one site or another but no luck.

Hmmm;

I don’t believe I have ever heard of them.

Here is an on-line IPMS review of the Riich Models 1/35th Scale Universal Carrier Mk.1 w/Crew, by Andrew Birkbeck.

I will start this review with a simple statement: this is one of the most complex, highly detailed, and simply wonderful models I have ever had the pleasure to encounter. It has 13 sprues of plastic parts with exquisitely fine details. Additionally, there are three frets of photo etch brass parts, 32 metal springs, 8 tiny metal shafts, and a length of metal chain. The small set of decals covers four different vehicles from three different nationsí armed forces. And, despite all this complexity, the kit assembles, with a few notable exceptions, extremely well.

FSM has thier own review in this forum which can be found here:

Thanks for the info. That review seems to be generally pleased with the kit.

I’ve built their 1/72 M109A2. A pretty nice kit that went together well

I’ve bought one of their kits a few years ago. The Sdoda (sp) and one of their Bren carriers. As I recall it looks pretty good, but I have not started building them yet.
