As the title goes.....is it worth buying the T-70 from Skif or not? There's one by our LHS and compared to the Tamiya it's half the cost.

Help me decide.

RD, I can tell you that personally, I haven't built this particular SKIF subject, but I have built others by them, and it has been hit and miss as far as quality, accuracy, and fit. . .Honestly, one of the best T-70's right now seems to be by MiniArt Limited, great value, great model kit.

I actually pawed that MiniArt kit at the LHS 3 days ago but didn't know anything about the maker.

Kevin, IMHO, if you're looking for a great kit for the money, this one is tough to beat. . .they build up into a great looking (as well as quite accurate) little numbers, and the indie tracks are farfegnugen, mate!
