I saw a bunch of revell kits in my local store two of german sdkf 128's. Are these any good or are they "toys"?

Almost all Revell 1/35 tanks are re-boxed products of another companies like Italeri (but some of them contains extra parts) . Few moments ago I checked Revell site but I didn't find SdKfz. 128.

If they are Revell of germany, they are probably nice kits. I believe they have reboxed some DML kits as well as AFV Club. When they do rebox, they tend to be better kits, although an old Matchbox kit can be found in some RoG boxes.

On a similar note- About the Airfix 1/72 kits- Although the under 5.00 dollar pricetag is attractive, I'm guessing they're total crap?

Bingo. Total junk. But I will say if your looking for a cheap way to test something (like I used one for testing oil paints for the first time) they are about the cheapest way to do it.

Although I buy the Revvell kit I never looked, does it say Revell Germany or do you need to know the difference between it and regular revell.

My experince with the ROG kits are that you can usually tell if they are DML by the title and sometimes
the box art is still the same at least they were on a few of the Stug kits I have.

Shiyon;

One clue to look for is the Revell Germany web address (www.revell.de) on the packaging
