They do stipulate that the aircraft are the softer variant though. Despite being a modeller with some experience, I was still apprehensive about getting these looking straight using the hot water method but your post shows how well it can be done! Your paint job looks fantastic! Nice job 👍 I’m gonna have to fire up the airbrush and get busy….Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045275598713483939.post-37123355249080332162017-12-11T13:32:33.092+11:002017-12-11T13:32:33.092+11:00Sorry your experience has been below expectations....Sorry your experience has been below expectations.

Having extra planes means of course there aren't enough flight stands to mount them permanently, and the fit is so poor, if you get them on at all, they fall off right away if you don't. I hope the new replacement models that are supposed to arrive sometime next year will fix this. The models themselves aren't as good as the original set (which I still have) but if the warping can be fixed, they should paint up nicely.<br /><br />Quality control seems to be a PSC problem: I bought their Great War ks set and was so disappointed at the figures which were so brittle, several broke up while being painted on the sprue, that I sold the game for a heavy loss at a convention flea market. As the bonus for this one was a set of tanks for The Great War, I messaged PSC and arranged to have the large vinyl(?) play map instead. This arrived separately yesterday and looks impressive, but woefully thin especially compared to Wings of Glory mats, more like coated paper. I have to wonder how long it will last with heavy use.
