hello everyone, I just wanted to get some input. I just purchaced 2 resin kits from Minimanfactory, the first being a M915A1 Line Haul Tractor, and the other being a M870A1 40 Ton Lowbed Trailer. my question is how do you guys like their kits, fit and finish, etc... They are pricey, but they look great from what I see. any input would be great.
Thank's everyone,
Bill

I have built the M915 and M872, They were some of the best resin kits I have built,I look forward to building more.
For what its worth, I don't think the M915 could pull the M870, I think the trailer had a bigger king pin ad was used with the 6x6 M916 and M920.

Thanks Vince.....well I'll just have to order the other tractor as well. Oh well maybe I should have done some more research before I ordered, but I like all their stuff! May have to get another job just so I can afford a bunch more of their kits!

Bill I have both their UAZ-452 and M1009 kits and the quality is great. When you get your kits, pay close attention to the parts, some of the photo etch may not be called out in the directions. My UAZ had half the parts missing from the directions. Some parts fit can be a little vague and not very clear on the directions, but overall great kits.
Cheers
