Maybe someday I'll be able to tell my grandchildren -
a long time ago, in a U.A. Modellers Forum far far away
were brave Englishmen, who were not afraid to make models from ZTS Plastyk....
:shock: :)

Research Dept wrote: Hey Przemek, I have really liked building this one, I had a ZTS Plastyk SAAB Draken a while ago too. okay they aren't the most detailed or accurate kits around and lots of kit builders wouldn't even attempt them! For me it's what model building is about, anyone can build a perfectly engineered super kit (well, mostly?) where I like to put some effort into it, solve problems and engineer a way of getting the result I'm aiming for? [...]
I also like the simple models. From cardboard and plastic. Because I can do it "in the fast - straight out of the box" or make them a lot of work to earn some extra details. However, I look at the quality of the models of ZTS Plastic. And I see that for many years are made increasingly poorer quality plastic. Forms of this models have long since should go into retirement too ;)
I have a lot of them (ZTS, Masterctraft, KP, Novo, etc.) And like them very much .... watch "to the pillow" :)
Therefore, I am full of admiration for your work on this model.

That is looking more than a little cool 8-) . Great work on it and your work there has def made ZTS a brand worth having a look at

Brilliant finish, this looks like an old style kit that I would enjoy building.

That's terrific. And from a pretty undistinguished kit too.
