For me, the craft paints produce good results at minimal cost and fuss. Another benefit, they are readily available. Sometimes, I think the pigment is a little too course but most paints seem just right.Jonathan Freitaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07862373894196924886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2267180105171392028.post-25214533096867204042015-06-16T06:24:26.549-07:002015-06-16T06:24:26.549-07:00Inspiring work bench shot, Jonathan.

The models are crisply molded. Some models did produce gaps but that may simply be a byproduct of my assembly technique. I built one of each model to see how the pieces fit together. I may be able to make tolerance improvements with additional models.<br /><br />I like the but a better test will be to see how they look once painted.Jonathan Freitaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07862373894196924886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2267180105171392028.post-61694022482280326922015-06-13T16:15:37.596-07:002015-06-13T16:15:37.596-07:00Hmm I've yet to try the 15mm Zvezda WWII kits....Hmm I've yet to try the 15mm Zvezda WWII kits.

That Zvezda SdKfz looks crisp, a lot crisper than the flash prone metal version I tried out. How did you find working on the kit, did the parts fit easily or was there any work on getting them to join without gaps?
