in this episode of Beyond the Box, Mos & Alex talk (often in a very roundabout way!) about the factors that go into making a model kit suitable for a new modeller. In Hit, Miss or Twist, they go through their choices in the categories, holding to a self-imposed maximum price of £15 - not counting ebay specials! Do you agree with our assessments, and do you have suggestions of your own? We'd love to hear from you!
