Airfix nightmare

Post by alonei »

:wall:
As im recovering from a back operation I cant sit too much and therefore cant do delicate builds so I decided to buy 2 kits from airfix that not require to much
I bought the beam engine and the 1804 steam locomotive.i thought it will be nice as I love industrial history but man what a nightmare :twisted:
Parts broken, flash and seams on every single part
Total disappointmet
In today standards they dont have a chance to survive

Thats a shame I picked up the new tool Typhoon the over day and that is a cracking little kit.

Sometimes its pot luck with Airfix.

The way i look at airfix kits is if its a new tool, itll probably go together fine, if its an old kit its gonna be a pita (pain in the ass)
