Which is better:
Legends or CMK?
Can you tell more about these brands/build experience? approx how much is the CMK kit?
Thanks in advance

I have the CMK M1 engine and from what i have seen of it it is very good and i would recommend it. As with any after marlet lit, good references are a must, but the kit instructions are not as bad as Legend instructions. I have not built their M1 engine, but have built other resin kits they produce and their instructions have to be some of the least helpful out there.

I paid about £35-40 for mine from the LHS. I also found this review which should be of some help for you

25.92 Euros at Blast Models. I find that the CMK set is much more detailed then the older Legends one. Although it looks like it will need a little tweaking to fit in the new M1A1 AIM hull. I have both sets if you want me to photo them, can do.

Hey Guys,
Thanks again. Yes, I already read the review in perth. Thats why I was more amazed with the CMK than the Legend. It's now a matter of cost
