RONBO Posted October 19, 2009 Report Posted October 19, 2009 I was at the MMSI show yesterday and I bought this plane it looks like a Beaufighter on roids and has a twin tail. The kit has PE, resin and I would say some nice looking plastic the sprue points to the parts are just a tad thick but not anything that can not be solved with a good razor saw. I was just wanted to know what the airplane folks thought about Valom kits like how they go together and such. Thanks for your time. Ronald F.Thorne Jr.
David M. Knights Posted October 19, 2009 Report Posted October 19, 2009 Valom kits are eastern european productions. As such, they aren't Hasegawa. If you take a look at the most recent Journal, there is a build up of a Siga AM-1Q Mauler. While Valom is better than Siga, the build article will give you a general idea of what you face.
Ron Bell Posted October 19, 2009 Report Posted October 19, 2009 the Brigand was designed to be the successor to the Beaufighter, so the ancestry did produce similarities.
