Re: Full metal models ?

Hi Ketje,
the SEF kits are quite good quality but they do not have etch parts such as wheels, etc like modern kits. The SEF stuff goes back probably to the early 70's (?)
I have built a couple and they are quite good quality. Some of the kits have wire laced wheels which you have to build yourself, it is difficult to get these looking good and they are quite fiddly.
Tell your friend to expect black fingers from working the white metal lol.
Regards,
Steve.
