Can anyone comment on "GWH" (Great Wall Hobby)

[Edbert]

I'd like to get a P-40 into my on-deck circle, and of course want the highest quality possible under ~$125 USD.

1/48 is my tradition, and most of my cabinet, but I'm really digging the 1/32s lately if the kit is REALLY good.

Looks like most of the 1/32 P-40s are old except this one (below) and I do not trust, nah...I have never heard of GWH.



Hey @Down Time are they any good? (the instructions would suggest yes)

But this over $150, which also says yes.

Very good kit. Expensive too especially in 1/32 scale.

Yeah, that price is pretty nasty, even for a top quality kit. I bought the Zoukei Mori (sp?) 1/32 on sale and it was still slightly over $100.

I guess it is no wonder that few people have experience with them. But thanks for the reply, much more helpful to hear from a forum member than some youtuber, and most of those links were to "unboxing" videos which I've never found helpful. Scalemates tell me what is in the box, I want to know how it fits together with glue and paint

My issue with most of the P40 kits is they are pretty old molds, I'm too old to want to fight with a sloppy kit.

I find those unboxing videos to be.....trying to be nice here.....oh I'll just say this....STUPID. I guess in the minds of those that make them they must think they are the first person to ever open a box. They are useless. We all know what comes in a model kit.
