Dear All
Please if you have the chance to get a new item, I would like you to write a review.
Why?
1- Everyone will get a chance to easily see what is the new kit about.
2- The review is on front page not your build blog.

To date the following kits didnot receive a proper treatment in term of review:
Meng pick up normal and SF version
Bushmaster
MATV from Panda
NBC Stryker from Trumpeter.

I will write a review on the Bushmaster due to obvious reason but please think global and write a review.
Thanks in advance

Seb

Hi Seb,
I just finished the NBC Stryker (not painted yet...), I suppose I could write up something and submit it.

Cheers,
Jim

Hi Seb
you just beat me for the Bushmaster review. Mine is already on my site. Another one will be interesting to criss cross opinions.

I just finished and submitted a review of the Meng SF pick-up to this site a few days ago. It should be up soon. I've got a BTR-50PK review in the works aswell.

I was working on a detailed review for the Bushmaster, but decided to stop due to a few factors. The main reason, finding the time to do it. Too busy scratch building and casting.

Cheers Jason

PS If anyone has done a review for the Bushmaster, and would like me to check over the technical side of their review, let me know.

What about older models which have not been reviewed?

I think people should be encouraged to review any kit that isn't already in the review archive.

Don't forget to look at other sites. Both the AMPS website ( http://www.amps-armor.org/ampssite/ ) and Tracklink ( http://www.track-link.net/ ) have extensive archives of reviews of new and older kits and accessories.

There'a LOT of info out there.

Matt,

We publish reviews of older kits...some even out of production (kind of like a blast from the past). So, new kits and old kits are always welcome to be reviewed. Seb is asking for these certain kits since members are posting sprue shots and builds, which we have no reviews for as of yet. If we have a review of the kit, and then the reviewer starts a build log, we can add a link in the review to the build which makes it much easier for everybody to find.

Any member can submit a review on Kitmaker and is encouraged to do so. As long as it's fair and honest, complies with our format and has good images, we can work with it. Any questions on what's needed or how to submit a review just contact myself or any staff member. There are also a few tutorials and guidelines 'stickied' around the various forums.

Thanks
