Antares resin Luft 46 sets ... how are they?

[Gary F]

  Anyone used any of the 48th scale Antares resin Luftwaffe 46 conversions?  How are they in finish and fit?

thanks,

I have got a1/72 he277 conversion that looks ok but yet to be used in anger, got enough of the rev ell kits to do it though

I've got their Junkers EF-132 complete kit. Can't comment on the fit as I haven't built it yet, but the finish and detailing are excellent.

I am working on a 48 scale Ar 234 resin conversion to a fighter - has gun pods under each nacelle and a bigger gun pod under the fuselage - I haven't got to them yet but they seem okay.  The main difference is the conversion of the normal AR nose to a stepped nose (like a B17). The fit is a bit iffy but okay - lots of dry fitting.  Main poor fit is the wheel well - will have to put a strip of plastic-struct to cover "stuff".  Detail for cockpit is good.

I have had all plastic kits with poorer fit - and since I build a lot of 48 scale Luft46 (cut and shut work), this is no drama. 

Given the price of the Australian $$$ with the US, this is the best time to buy from Antares - I bought up several conversions a few years ago when the Aussie dollar was good but have no built any of it - its in the stash for my retirement in 5 years

hope this helps
