T, I don't know about all of the Ardpol kits, but I have the Friedrichshafen FF.33L and it's a gorgeous little kit, a lot like Karaya.
Cheers,
Bud

Hi Terry,

I had several of their 1:72 kits, e. g. their Halberstadt Cl. II, AEG C. IV and their Dh. 9 and I was very impressed by their quality. They were the best resin kits I had ever seen till this date. It was about 15 years ago, but I think they still can hold their ground compared to other offerings in the same scale. Don't expect AVIATTIC-kind detail, but I think you won't be disappointed with Ardpol kits.

I've built 2 of them and I've found them to be some of the finest I've seen in 1/72.

Thanks for the feed back Bud , Borsos and Mark .

Came across their kits on ebay and they have a lot of neat subjects that you can't get in 48 scale and I do enjoy building 72 scale from time to time . So I will have to decide on which one to get ...
