Hey all,

QQ:

How generic to late-WW2 Europe, France and the low lying countries in particular is MiniArt's 35004 Polish City Building? I'd have guessed it was more particular to Poland given the kit title, but I see the same kit is marketed in a dio kit as 36011 European Street.

In a word - VERY. You'll see the (broadly) same style of building right across Europe (even in Italian cities). I could go out now (I won't 'cos it's pissing down with rain ) and find half-a-dozen similar designs here...

You're right Jim
I've been traveling a lot during last two years and I've seen this type of architecture all along the Europe - Czech Republic, Slovakia, Italy, Spain, Austria, and Poland. You can also see this kind of building on many urban WWII pictures.

Jim & Andrzej,

Thanks VERY much for your responses I really like the looks of this kit, so it's REALLY great to hear it fits in with my plans
