Hi
I was thinking about buying MiniArt 1/35 36052 Street Section w/Wall kit from, does anyone recommends the Miniart kits?
or is there any other similar kits from another manufacturer that you recommends, or just buy this one?

Hi Páll,

MiniArt's injection-molding flash can be a bit tedious to clean up but it's well worth the effort. The dio you mention shouldn't be too bothersome since it only has one small wall section. So IMHO, if you like it, grab it!

Note: Be sure to remove the little molding bumps on the cobblestones.

Here's a helpful link: MiniArt Building Assembly Guide

Personally I find their products are pain to build.
Their building accessories are great to have.Doors,windows,lights,etc.Walls I think are much more easier to scratch build.

they are awesome, grab it. You will need filler & some sanding sticks, sharp knife. In the end, pretty darn nice. Fun to paint.
They have video tutorials on their site.
You will also want to add some more rubble or pigments.

Mini Art do some really great diorama and base sets. I've been very impressed with the level of detail as nd quality. I'd highly recommend their diorama buildings etc
