Vintage HO Vollmer City Fire Station Model Kit # 3759 Future Line West Germany
Great Fire House
This is very well made. Many of the models I've put together don't fit very good and have gaps or just don't fit together right. This model, every piece, (and there are quite a few), fits perfectly and went together easily. T...he Vollmer items are very realistic and very well molded. I highly recommend this product and am looking for more Vollmer buildings.Read full review

FALLER ALL SCALE EXPERT PLASTIC GLUE (25G BOTTLE) | SHIPS FROM USA | 170492
The BEST modeling glue!!!
I do a lot of model railroad building and have tried many different glues. This glue is best for me because the needle lets you get small amounts in small, tight spots with small parts. Also, it starts to set relatively quick..., which is helpful when trying to hold onto parts “till the glue dries”. And finally, it has a superior hold once it’s dry and cured. When I have large areas to glue together I use testers original glue, but I don’t do many “large” model parts, lol. Probably about 98% of the glue I use is Faller Expert# 170492.Read full review

HO Scale Foam Trackbed 24' roll Woodland Scenics # 1474 Model Trains
Foam Trackbed
I was worried about how it would work in the turns but as long as you use the track to help hold it down, it worked perfectly. It completely skipped having to trace the track, pull up the track, and lay the Trackbed down in 2... pieces, and then re - lay the track again. I simply laid the Trackbed right under the track and tacked everything in place working in small sections. Just work 1 nail hole at a time to make sure your track is connected right and the Trackbed is centered under the track. I think this product works much easier than cork, and it eliminates several steps. So as long as you are using balast on all of the track, there is no apparent difference in the end product. Even if you aren't using ballast, it doesn't look bad with just the trackbed. The only problem with that is the railroad ties blend too much with the trackbed and you don't get the contrasting colors. I'm very satisfied with the product and am glad I used it.Read full review

US Stock KIT grey/green random S-300 SA-10 Grumble 5P85D/S Missile Launcher 1/72
Great Model
I've put together 100's of models and this was one of the best. I'm very picky about the models that I put together for my layout. I try to make them look as realistic as I can. They not only look great after they're put toge...ther, but they also go together extremely well!! The molding for these trucks is fantastic. The pieces for the trucks all went together absolutely perfect and there was almost no trimming needed after taking the parts off of the sprues. I've bought and put 3 of these together so far and am definitely buying more of them for my diorama. I highly recommend these for any 1/72nd or 1/87th military diorama or layout.Read full review

Roundhouse 3-Stall Kit HO Scale Atlas Trains
Well made kit!
The molded parts in this kit go together basically perfect. I've done many models and most of them have imperfections that force you to fudge certain areas or parts. Not this kit. It also has a ton of fine detail in the moldi...ng process that give it even more realistic features. I bought and built 2 of these for my diorama and except for the need for weathering, they look great.Read full review

HO 1:87 Scale LARGE CHEMICAL PROCESSING PLANT KIT IHC New in Box 7006
Happy with it, but needs molding process improvements!!!
I’m still working on it and It’s going to be a nice addition to my diorama. It’s a decent model, but it definitely has room for improvements. The parts are mostly fairly thick, and heavy duty, and they fit together pretty wel...l, so it should be a strong model. But I had to do a LOT of trimming with my exacto knife. The molding process and maybe the recycled plastics used need some improvement. Also, I didn’t get any of the signing or stickers.Read full review
