aurfalien Posted January 3, 2017 Posted January 3, 2017 Hi,Does any one have experience with 1/43 PremiumX resin models?How accurate are they?
peekay Posted January 5, 2017 Posted January 5, 2017 (edited) I have this one and I think it's one of the best in my 1/43 collection. Not being an expert, I can't really vouch for its accuracy but it looks right to me.Certainly a high degree of quality and detail for your buck.http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/NzQ0WDExNzA=/z/zJYAAOSwzgRWuD9A/$_1.JPG Edited January 5, 2017 by peekay
astroracer Posted January 5, 2017 Posted January 5, 2017 Take my ramblings as you will. I have a few thoughts on model cars and "accuracy".I always ask myself these questions when looking to purchase a "questionable" kit. The 1st thing you need to ask is: How accurate does it have to be?The 2nd question is: How many other kits are available for this particular model?3rd question is: If this is the only kit out there, will you not buy it because it is inaccurate?4th question: How many other people, other then myself, will notice the inaccuracies once it is built?And, question 5: If the inaccuracies are small can they be fixed while building the kit?Mark

I enjoy this hobby very much and have done so for years without burdening myself wit 100% accuracy. Other modelers feel different about this and it's their choice.
Rob Hall Posted January 6, 2017 Posted January 6, 2017 I have a couple---a '71 Riviera and a '73 Bel Air, they seem quite accurate as far as proportioning and detailing. I love 1/43rd, have been buying more lately...got a few from BoS and NEO also..
