The standard of the molding is usually very good.

Legend produce some very nice reson update and conversion sets, but as with many AM resin sets, the instructions are virtually rubbish, especially when it comes to bending the parts and order of build. Hobbyfan, i would say, are not quite as good as Legend, in my experience, and seem to be more expensive. But, they do AM kits that other manufacturers do not.

Hello,
I have the Mini gun set theres 2 and they are delicate fer sure ( i broke 1)
The set includes boxes too, but no mounts or "belts".

I have bought alot of the Legends stuff overthe years and its getting better all the time. The instructions leave alittle to be desired though and they photo copy their directions onto standard stock paper so don't get it wet!

My take on HobbyFan is that they are WAYYYYY TTOOOO EXPENSIVE, but do have excellent products with great detail and few, if any bubbles or flash.

HTH
