I built a lot of Halinski models in the past and almost always with much pleasure. However, there is a series of 'too-early models' that does not answer to the high standard the publisher reaches in later products. You can tell it from the sleeve: 3/4-2001 tells you the serial number and the year of publishing. In my experience most of his kits from before about 2003 are rather crappy. They are all out of print now. If you have anything at stock from the old days: discard them. I had a Zero from I think 1995, a Buffalo, a Phantom, all very bad. He must have been aware of it, because many of those birds were re-done and published and were brilliant. The improvement in quality goes right up with the quality of the explanatory pictures.
So be warned. Buying the old stuff will in no way bring you the satisfaction the newer stuff does. The later ones are all unsurpassed.
