i am in the opputunity to purchase a 1/48 Halberstadt CL-IV from Karya in 1/48 scale.
Can anyone tell me what the quality of this kit is.
Thank you in advance

It's a very good kit, Rob. Not as detailed as the Mirage kit, but in some ways better. I started a dual build using both kits over a year ago, but set them aside when something else caught my attention. Here's a link showing how the 2 kits compare.

What Bud said re: the Karaya, you won't be disappointed with it. Bud made his Mirage turn out more like Wingnut 1/32 quality, though.

Thank you all,
Today I finaly received my Halberstadt from Karaya and I am pleasanty surprised of the contents in the kit especialy the resin parts are a surprise for me. i only need to find good Logenze decals.Somehow I find out wich are the best for this model.
I must admit that the collection starts to grow rapidly Since teh FE-2 from WNW a few weeks ago my stash is rather expanded it stands now at 12 Even my wife loves the ww1 aircraft and bought me a 1/48 Gotha g-v from AZ models I hope to receive it this week this one will keep me occupie for a great while I think.

wow 12 model kits. i i have 12 shelves of model kits. it is very easy to let it get out of control. you come across a deal. then you see a guy selling off stash, then you see a rare kit you have wanted for a long time.just when you decide you had better do the right thing and stop buying wnw puts out a new one. i really am unsure of how many kits i have now my guess is 500 with 90%ww1 aircraft. its actually kinda insane. i just hate to sell one cuz then what if i want it later. i decided its an investment. if i hold on to them for some years then decide to sell they will be worth more. my little nest egg.

If one count my ww2 collection then it also reach the 500 or so mark recently I have been bitten by the WW1 bug and just like you mentioned about good deals etc I totaly agree with you I am also in the Lucky postion that my wife totaly supports me with this hobby eenthough sometimes she asks when I bring a new one home, another one ? Then she says ah well at least it is a good loft insulator
