Never heard of this outfit before, but they're offering a 1/72nd Mi-2 at a reasonable price:

They also do three versions of the T-34 Turbo Mentor:

http://www.hannants.co.uk/product/SKHI7225 (Argentinan with weapons!  :wub:)




They also do a Ka-25C which Hannants don't have at the moment.

Quality? Who knows? They're certainly Eastern European and the artwork has an A-Model/Eastern Express feel about it, so they might well be re-pops of somebody else's moulds.

I had their T-34C in my stash for a while wondering what to do with it. I eventually used it for spare styrene.

Here's an in box review I did:

Ah cheers for that.  :thumbsup:

As I read your review I was thinking "this sounds like A-Model" before I got to the last paragraphs: some really nice bits of design, lost in some seriously shoddy production issues.

Oh well, they're cheap enough, and the accuracy issues won't matter for many a whiff project.
