Yeah those 21st Century kits were worth the cost just for teh decal sheet alone. I have their A6M3 in my stash. The Pegasus kits are great introductory kits with options for the beginner of seasoned modeler. As long as you are not expecting a Tamigawa uberkit, you will get your moneys worth there. My first aircraft kits had to mostly have been Hawk, both 1/48 and 1/72. Thats what the local store had when we walked over when I was a wee lad…
I view the Pegasus kits as an inexpensive method for expanding a collection of specific aircraft camo / markings schemes without spending Tamiyagawa prices.
Worst cost would be for aftermarket decals…and i will probably be sifting thru those at dealer tables for the Butch O’Hare swap meet next month
I agree the Pegasus 1/48 “Snap” kits are excellent starter kits and even decent subjects for the more advanced modeler. The kits are cheap, well detailed and offer excellent decals. The only major problem with these kits are they ARE NOT made of polystyrene plastic and WILL NOT react to any plastic model cements. I like to fill and sand joints, therefore I like to use cements even on “Snap Tite” models. The only thing I have found that works is liquid Cyanoacrylate (Super glue).
I was not aware of that.
I will make certain I use super glue
