  1. As far as quality goes Border has hit the mark several times. I built the Kate OOB and it was a dream. Excellent Cockpit with everything needed options for folded or not folded wings full engine and the detail is spot on. Having the HPH Kate as well there is no comparison especially when you look at the Price the Border 1/35 kit was $60 vs $200 for the HPH not including the 3d printed cockpit which was seperate.
  2. And for the younger generation that isn't all setup in 1/32 scale and is just hitting the market looking for kits 1/35 with its price point may be a great choice. I built the 1/32 Kate and the 1/35 Kate the quality of the later blows the first one away and at less than 1/2 the cost.
  3. D.B Andris 1/32 has been done in armor before so I don't see your point. These manufactures need to make money and it seems that there is a market for 1/35. That is their decision not the communities they make kits for us not the other way around . Go ahead make your unbelievable armor kit in 1/32 Im sure there is an audience out there for it just don't criticize some other company for their choices
  4. how is this non sense? Its no different than on armor forums where people who have a vested interest in a certain manufacturer goes out of thier way to bad talk the competition for the same kit without ever actually having plastic in hand to make comparisons. You should be happy that these manufactures are even listening to any of your input. The US and the UK are minor in comparison to Asia and EU as far as models bought and built.
  5. Why is everyone so upset with 1/35? Should be glad that firms are doing some of these subjects at all. I build all scales and will build what interests me. Putting a company down because they chose to do a subject not in "Your Scale" is a symptom of dissatisfaction and willingness to destroy something you don't agree with. As a model builder I understand wating a subject in a scale I prefer but as someone who has worked as a vendor for almost 20 years i will not support company bashing because of their choices.
  6. As someone who imports kits I can tell you tarffis have already been an issue. If importing from Hong Kong, Japan , China etc. You now can only do it via speedpak or EMS. In HK and China EMS is hitting the exports with a base shipping charge of $150 -200 not including any tariffs that may be added this additional charge is then paid by the importer. Out of the Far east there is no limit on size any order from 1 item to 1000s are being hit equally. Currently shipments from EU have not had this issue but they are preparing for the eventuality as well. Winston V Owner Bagheera Productions
  7. contact them via facebook messanger crazycat 3d scale models I had a reply from them in 10 min about ordering
  8. you can also do Estonian and Turkish https://www.bing.com/images/search?q=estonian+spitfire&qpvt=estonian+spitfire&form=IGRE&first=1 https://www.bing.com/images/search?q=turkish+spitfire&qpvt=Turkish+spitfire&form=IQFRML&first=1
  9. I would try resizing into paint masks in 1/32
  10. Any idea if they will release an early without the turret? Been looking at doings some Mods to make a P-70 but most P70s didn't have a turret on the top
  11. I'd love these in 1/32 but I am also interested in any 1/48 for my aging Testors kits
  12. where can these be ordered from?
  13. Where do you get one?
  14. Border is already working on a Zero and it will also be rereleased with the Flight Deck option
  15. A good B-58 in 1/48 pr 1/32 would be nice
  16. Anyone know where I can get parts for a F4U-2 nightfighter?
  17. Haven't decided on which one yet but will soon so I can get masks made I don't do decals
  18. detail is stunning https://forum.largescalemodeller.com/topic/19883-135-border-kate/
  19. I just started their Kate and it is a fantastic kit, Detail rivals Kotare level of detail. The instructions need help but the detail in the kit is phenomenal. Having the Kate and the Vampire from Infinity HPH will need to up their game to come close to rivaling this kit.
  20. How about a P-51 A/Mustang Mk I?
  21. Oh my lets crucify a company for bringing out a much needed kit but not in "The Right Scale" . If scale is such an issue don't buy it simply put. There are plenty of us who are more interested in building such a kit and supporting companies for bringing them forward. I have seen the same argument about 1/48 scale armor, I personally build a subject I like regardless of scale. This whole it has to be in my chosen scale is stupid and not needed. Would you be happier if companies just stopped making kits because they didn't consult you on your wants as far as subject or scale?
  22. So if you don't like 1/35 scale don't buy it. There are plenty of people who are not bent up over what scale a kit is in. Just as bad as the there is only 1 mans scale people and thats 1/72. I build subjects that I like not due to the scale it is I enjoy 1/35 armor but also build 1/48 scale armor and the occasional 1/100 or 1/144. I build primarily 1/32 and 1/48 aircraft but also dabble in 1/144 and 1/72 from time to time. Don't go after a company because they decided to do a kit that isn't in the scale you prefer. Something like a Kate that is well engineered is fantastic especiall as our hobby gets smaller as most of us get older and we have fewer young people joining the hobby.
  23. It's the same price on the ZM website
  24. I've built the Viggen and other than a few spots the construction was actually easier than a Tamiya 1/32 scale kit to include the F-16. I also built the D558-1 as was just as pleasantly d by the fit of a resin and 3d cast kit
