Some of their aircraft and armor kits are great, their car kits generally fall horribly short though.

Re: Minicraft Models Quality

I know first hand that the Rolls Royce is a freaking nightmare as it has like 3,000,000 body pannels (please excuse the over exadgeration[sp?]) and it doesn't even look good when you get it all together, kinda disproportionate.

I will avoid the kits made by MiniCrap. I bought their Triump TR3 kit and it is horrible.

Shame that the Rolls seems to be getting a kicking.. That's a true Brit Classic..!!

I would actually like to see some more British Classic cars in scale model format. After all, the Brits aren't that bad at building cars.. The Brits just seem very bad at managing the actual companies that build them.. Oh and crap builds sometimes ruins a good car.. Cue - Jaguar..!!

I'm doing the Rock'n'Roadster... It's looking pretty good only one or two problems so far... it might be user error though.
