Hi all,

While browsing the net I came across the site of Anigrand.
They produce a model kit of the North American XF-108 Rapier, which would
look fantasic standing next to my XB-70 Valkyrie!

Anybody have experience with this manufacturer?
How are the kits of Anigrand?

Thanks in advance,

Marco,

I made the Anigrand Yak-141 - I thought it was an excellent kit - the
resin was well detailed and bubble-free, the instructions were good,
conopy excellent and a good decals sheet.

The panel detail was a bit too deep - but other than that, I would
highly recommend it.

I have their Yak-36 still to make...............

Check http://modelingmadness.com for reviews of several Anigrand kits.
I can't see one for the XF-108 specifically, but several others get
reviewed.

Do the undercarriage legs in their kits come reinforced at all?
Can't see resin u/c legs holding the weight of some of the kits up....

I'll get back to you - in five years !!

Seriously though, my Anigrand Yak-141 is in a cardboard transportation
box - the only time it comes out is at model shows.

It's next appearance will probably be at the IPMS UK Nationals in
Telford - on the Soviet A/C SIG stand.

So the resin legs/weight is not really an issue for me - but I take you
point about strength.
