I am thinking about getting Mouse House L119/M119 howitzer kit.
But before spending 120 AUD, can anybody tell me how the quality of Mouse House is?

I purchased three roof conversions and three stowage bin sets for the Tamiya 1/25 Centurion. Weird resin, soft on detail, and more than a few pinholes in the resin. A solid 5 on a scale of 10.

The Mouse House M119 howitzer is a great kit. Here is my build of it.
Here is is complete w/figures on a dio base.

Seems like you got an entirely different kit than Redleg did.

Mine wasn't as bad as his. I guess who/when it was cast made/makes a difference. He got his a few years before I got mine. It seems they improved over time.

I bought a dozer for a Leopard tank some years ago, and I was fully satiefied with it. It needed some re-shaping, in my oven, of some of the parts for the dozer blade, but that was because they were made to scale thickness. The resin was trouble free

Thanks guys, I think I`ll give it a try. I build the Dartmore kit many moons ago, was more a scratchbuild than a OOTB. Only problem might be getting the Superlug 9R16 tires as seen on the gun at Graf.

I have purchased and built a number of kits and extras from Joh at mouse house and have spent a great deal of time talking with him. He produces some very good and uniquely Australian equipment he has on his home page the following:
"If you have purchased one of our products and like it please tell your friends. If you have an issue with our products, please tell us first"
I have only had one problem with kit and it was a part missing and a replacement was sent straight away.
I have recently purchased one of the M113AS4 kits and this is superb.
He also will replace part if there are problems, I would recommend to all that have one of his kits if you have a problem contact him, he is more than happy to sort out issues.
