I've seen their kits for sale, but know nothing about how good they are. Any information on them?

I have a few of the UM armored rail cars in 1/72nd and have built a couple. They're pretty nice. Not fancy, but nice.

I've got the Armored Train OB-3 and some individual cars. It looks good Tom.

Ah, so UM Models presumably bought other companies' molds (as Eastern Express and Zvezda did) and some are good and some are bad. I guess it's a crapshoot which is which.

I agree with Mike. Their braille scale armored train and armored car kits are decent to build. Not suberb but they will go together after some fixing but hey, that's modelling, right?

I have built their BT-7A and M1937/42 AT guns. I also have the Su-76 in stash. The BT-7A was challenging and some part were of poor quality. The AT guns were very nice and accurate.
