Red Roo Models

Post by DougvH »

Evening,

So I was researching for my Eduard 1:48 Tiffy, and came across a reference for a tropical conversion kit from Red Roo Models. The kit is designed off three 1b car doors that were attached to North Africa in 43. This has spiked my interest as I've never seen a Tiffy in Tropo colors. The HyperScale review of the kit was good, but does anyone have good, or otherwise, things to say about Red Roo Models in general?

Thanks in advance.
-Doug

Not really , but I have only bought some glue off them, nothing to say one way or the other.
I don't think they will stiff ya, if that's whats worrying you. I have never heard anything bad about them.

Thanks Digger. The downside is shipping to US is 15AUD, and the kit is only 9 lol.

lol very true, still worked out to less than $20usd with shipping. Liked the idea of doing something different with the limited edition than just another Tiffy. Although my ambition is far ahead of my talent ATM. Just need to start slowing down, and stop my OCD from kicking in. My P-38 build shows my lack of patience getting my fist model in 20+ completed.
