I'm currently eyeing purchasing a resin kit from 5 Star models, the Russian Tunguska AA system. ANyone have any experience with this company?

Hi,
I got their SA-6 before the Trumpeter hit the shelves. It was quite a good kit with some flaws of course. The cast was good with very few flash but some "molding lines" on the missiles and some other tiny parts.
The PE parts are made by Part and I think Aber or Eduard are better.
If Trumpeter or another plastic manufacturer does not issue the 2S6, maybe I'll give it a try as this is a tremendous vehicle.
