Thunder Posted January 29, 2014 #1 Posted January 29, 2014 Having seen pictures of the woody Joe Charles Stuart Yacht kit I wondered if anyone on here has any experience of it? I would like to know what is thought of its quality of design, instructions, materials and accuracy. This is now available in the UK for about £220. Don't know if this is value for money.

ccoyle Posted January 29, 2014 #2 Posted January 29, 2014 I have seen several completed Woody Joe models and can vouch for the quality of the finished product, but I've never seen an actual unbuilt kit in the box up and close. I do know that Japanese modelers tend to be very meticulous and would expect models aimed at that market to be pretty good. Quote Chris Coyle Greer, South Carolina When you have to shoot, shoot.

overdale Posted January 30, 2014 #3 Posted January 30, 2014 It appears to be quite expensive for such a relatively small model. Quote
Jean-Pierre Posted February 13, 2014 #4 Posted February 13, 2014 These Woody Joe kits look excellent, but make sure that they come with instructions in English!!! Quote
