I bought this awhile ago on Amazon because it was on sale at a steep discount. It was really cheap. I think this company is Polish? Not sure... And I had no idea what to expect.
The kit includes parts and decals for two of each aircraft, so it it possible to build 4 altogether. There's just a few parts and a small photoetch for each one.
Assembly was not easy. The fit isn't great and some parts were little more than a tiny blob. The photoetch in particular doesn't quite line up with where it is supposed to go. It's all a matter of using magnification and vanishingly small dots of CA glue. The result is particularly fragile because the glue I had strangely does not fully adhere to whatever type of plastic this is.
Normal glue like Tamiya extra thin worked, with such small parts great care is required not to melt the whole thing.
I just brush painted the whole thing and added some very minor weathering. The colors are not at all right. I just used what I had on hand. This isn't exactly Wingnut Wings anyway.
The decals were not great, but were much better than I expected after my assembly experience. They went on OK with very few problems.
It's a small scale so it doesn't take much shelf space (if you don't lose it). And at a glance at least, it's really not bad. I just built the one. I'll get around to the Fokker another time.
