Military In Scale 03/2012

Kit Form Services are a resin kit manufacturer that specialise in mail order kits that replicate in the main civilian trucks and accessories. Over the last few years they have branched out to create full kits of British Army vehicles, the Alvis Saladin seen here being one of the latest to appear. As before, the kit is cast in resin and white metal and is then further detailed with photo-etched parts that all combine with each other to create a highly detailed replica, inside and out. The majority of the parts are flawlessly cast in cream resin, with the remainder of them cast in white metal or supplied on that large photo-etched brass fret. Decals are included for three vehicles including one in all-white United Nations colours. The kit also includes a full set of detailed instructions and though I would not recommend this kit to the absolute beginner, such is the quality of the cast parts, a modeller with a little experience should find little here to trouble their growing skill base. Let's get started then!
