"Review of the El Alamein Starter set" Topic

Hi all,

I just bought the set today and here is what I thought about it.

I hope you can benefit from it.

Very interesting and informative. Thanks.

Wow, very informative indeed, thanks!

If you did some editing, you could have a better video. We don't need to see you actually open the box. You could show close ups of the product as you talk about them and not wave the parts around in front of you as you talk. You can make a better video and you'll increase your subscriptions to your channel.

Thank you for your suggestions. You are the first one to point this out and i shall try to do better the next time. I do not know if it would be worthwhile to redo the video though.

So they've gone from resin/metal tanks that had 10-12 parts to plastic tanks that have many more parts. I'm not happy.

Keep the opening of the box in there. Its great to see guys cracking open their purchases.

"Keep the opening of the box in there. Its great to see guys cracking open their purchases."

I am going to keep that in there simply because no one can say, "Oh, he opened it up and altered it in some fashion." I purchased it as opposed to it was given to be to be reviewed.

The kit reminds of of PSC kits, but the Zvezda kits, while less detailed, are easier to put together due to fewer parts.

I still think BF plastic tanks are a bit pricy compared to other makers out there, but like PSC (unlike Zvezda) they do offer kit to customize the tank a little bit.

More parts with plastic but much easier to work with, I've had MORE than my fill of filing off flash, bumps, mold lines, etc from metal models. Plastic ones can easily be handled with a few scraps from an xacto knife.
