It may be the only game in town TBH Weaver.  Think of it as a learning experience ;D

Weaver as IanH says Broplan stuff is a mixture of Vacform for the main components and injection for the smaller stuff. The problem with them is that can be really hit and miss. Some kits are quite nice, whilst others ????

I've got that P.37 Los kit and she's basic but ok.

I got mine from a contact in Poland in the late 80's - the quality control must have improved since then!

One mans meat  ;D Seriously I'm not the best of modellers and therefore can live with things that perhaps better modellers can't. Besides I have a "thing" for aircraft of the "minor" powers during the 30/40'sn and that enables me to accept a few "idiocyncracies"  ;D

You know that Heller did a 1/72nd Karas?

It arrived today: I'd say "basic but okay" sums it up nicely, although obviously, I havn't tried actually building it yet.

GOT ONE!   :party:

Well not quite what I wanted: it's an expensive resin one by S-model, but I still prefer that to a vacform.

Cheers to Thorvic for drawing my attention to the auction...  :thumbsup::cheers:

Well they don't call us the 'Evil Kit Finder General' for nothing :wacko:

The 'Evil' bit is i tend to recall what people have expressed an interest in and then point them in the direction of said item whether they were currently looking for it or not  ;D.

(I know my mates cringe when i send them a link to one of these items, but i have learnt from experience that should they mention it again and you then say that you spotted 'x' kit 'n' of days/weeks etc ago on eBay/shop/show then they ask why didn't you tell them at the time  :banghead: - can't win so better being a git and pointing them in the right direction and leave it to their will power as to if they buy it or not !!!)

My wallet weeps everytime Thorvic and I have a chat. Of course, the financial ache is usually forgotten by the time the kit arrives.
