Polish kits - aeroplast, plastyk, chematic

Does anybody have any experience with these kits?  I keep coming across them on Ebay.

I'm aware that some of them are rebadged Frog/Novo kits but some intriguingly appear not to be but rather new moulds.

Are they any good?

Myself and a few others on here have built the Polish TS-11 Iskra kit, badged as various brands, and it's "a bit difficult" in the same way that the Pacific Ocean is "a bit big". You CAN make a decent model out of it, but it's an awful lot of work....

I think some of these brands also use old KP moulds. My limited experience of these is that they're good but basic.

The Aeroplast helicopter kits I've bought (all Huey variants) bear a passing resemblance to the original, but not much more. Although mould quality is good, the words finesse and accuracy do not describe the end product.

So, in other words, caveat emptor applies?

I was thinking of trying their Draken, Hunter and Javelin kits.  I've found a few reviews of the Javelin and they say they are quite reasonable.   I understand the Hunter is a redone Frog/Novo mould.

Once polish traders make company with "old good czech" KP under name "Mastercraft"....but not all kits was there from KP....some was polish "origin",but quality is different ....is it NOT a Tamiya...
