I've seen the parts photos and the builds online. I just can't find any reviews of these kits.
I've read posts of Blackdog vehicle kits being warped; however, Blackdog produces some unusual modern kits that MMK does not. So...which manufacturer would you recommend?
Thanks.

In my limited experience (maybe 3-4 conversions from each manufacturer) I'd say they're about the same.
Both had their share of warped and ill fitting parts along with instructions that were hard to follow at times. When it comes to resin kits, these are the things I've (unfortunately?) come to expect so I cannot say I was upset with either.

Don't agree, MMK makes original models too.
Can't say which is more difficult: a conversion or a complete resin kit but both of them are interesting to do.

Has anyone built the Blackdog Flyer 72 SOF vehicle, the MMK Czech HiLux II SOF pickup, or the EPS Springer ATV? Those are the kits I'm looking at and would appreciate comments about them.
Thanks again.
Thanks again.
