Heller's 1:35th Leopard 1 A4. the fit of the parts is just terrible, with massive deformations and gap filling with poor locking points to glue in the turret,... lots of things wanted to "pop" open and not stay glued ! Also the box says "Australian version included" and the decals had no Aussie version on them, the instructions gave no marking or colour guide for that version either. Should of got the Tamiya one.

Next would be the 1:300 scale Enterprise aircraft carrier by CC Lee. what rubbish, awesomely bad fit, with whole assemblies missing such as the phalanx turrets and gantries. The desck itself in 3 sections of which none fitted and had to be filled and sanded yet still have a wierd look.. was not worth the excitement when we first saw teh price $20 ! buyer beware!
