Skif-Kits

Quick question ...

I have seen on the internet a kit of Skif.
The set costs only 18€. I have no experience with this manufacturer. Can you recommend these models or not?
It is a T-64A 1/35 ...

Made a Skif kit once, wasn´t that bad, however you can not expect anything like a Tamiya or Dragon kit. They remind me a lot of the old Zvezda or Italeri kits, buildable but they have their shortcomings. If you are experiened and are not afraid of filling some gaps its fine.

and they do like a NICE bath in soapy water.... to get rid of the Goat Fat they use for Mould Release !
LOL

sometimes they are the only game in town !! as said before... they do have fit and accuracy issues at times !
but are of an older Era ! and older tooling's !

buyer beware...

As others have said, beware.
I have built this kit, bought it at a show for $10, and I''d say it was worth that much at least. I built it mostly for practice.
Fit is ok, not terrible. Accuracy is, again, ok, but not terrible. Greasy parts for sure. The biggest let down of this kit is the tracks. They are not only inaccurate, but they repel every glue I threw at them. I finally settled on a combination of super glue and sewing thread.
I would spend the extra money and just get the Trumpy T-64. 30 more Euro well spent.
