I like! I've never built anything from this company, but I'm going to have to give this a try. Can anyone tell me anything about them ?

Alan hobbies is an Eastern European company the quality is so so depending on the kit ..dragon has kitted a few of their models ...ie the Panzer II and the Bishop were Alan Hobbies kits . Not bad kits but not up to Tamiya ,Dragon or AFV club standards.

Generally, they can be kind of rough. But I have seen some really well-done models that started out life as Alan kits. Plus, like most other eastern-bloc outfits, they seem to be consciously improving their quality whereever they can. I'll certainly take a close look at the kit when it comes out...
