Have added a couple of vehicles from Company B to my IJA force.  Details on the builds can be found on the blog:

Great job with both models! Especially considering the struggles with lower quality castings... Well done.

Great work on what must have been a very frustrating project  :)
I must say i am rethinking my Company B order as this is the second post I have read where quality is an issue,

Pity as they do a lot of stuff that no one else does ....yet.
As more good resin 3D prints come on line the old poorly made kits will not be saleable methinks

Perhaps those sellers should invest in a good 3D printer and start providing an easier to make product that people are happier with.

I’d love to get a 3D printer (I’ve been waiting for prices to come down and quality to go up), but I bet most in the hobby don’t.

Thanks for the feedback!  The kits took a bit of work, but I  at least knew they were older models and was prepared. But I agree that companies will need to keep up with the times and invest in new technologies or they will lose out to other sellers.
