Well, I am glad to find this thread and find that bestpapermodels are members here
and have posted some info.

I have heard this site mentioned a few times and I decided to check it out today.

I must say, its a very nice assortment of affordable, cheap and dirt cheap models!
Almost everything is beginner to Moderate level build experience,
but the graphics and colours on most kits seem to be above par.

Even the simplest of designs have great textures and details.

I picked up a couple of digital downloads, and grabbed a couple of their "free" models.
Payment was quick and simple checkout through Paypal.

And the download links came by email, within 30 seconds of payment.

Only issue I had with the site is speed.
Every page took forever to load.
Pictures took forever to load.
And the downloads...awful.
I normally download files on the Net at about 1500-2000kbps
When I finally connected to the download links, the models downloaded at 30kbps, maxing out at around 100kbps.
This indicates to me a severly restricted download access or a need for updated servers and file storage.
Either way, this is something that might make me think twice about more downloads.
I think the owners need to be aware of this.

Other than that, I highly recommend bestpapermodels
especially to beginner modelers.
