I have found some really good tips and opinions that have helped me immensely with some kits. Of course this has to do with the reviewers t emselves as well as yourself and it is really appreciated. I will send in my own reviews too for consideration. Keep up the great work and add in more reviews!!! The only thing lacking is the most recent release reviews (although I see the Academy P-51 has made it on)- perhaps some hobby shops and Kit manufacturers should take heed and send in some samples so the whole modelling community can get the lowdown early. But other than that, excellent site, well done!! (Thanks Philip for your kind comments, yes I have to rely on others to provide the most up to date reviews on new releases, Kit manufacturers etc would be most welcome in assisting since this site is not resource, not a business! Cheers, Mark) |

I do have a small suggestion. It would be nice if the 1/48 scale reviews were separate from the 1/72 reviews--say use anchors at the top of each section so you could page down to the 1/48 section quicker a d the 1/72 people wouldn't have to see the 1/48 listings. |
