Fellow member DH got me started on a quest to find models of the Westland Gannet or Wyvern airplanes. I've found them and am now patiently scouting for deals (and I am very patient in this regard). One thing I've come across are vacuformed models. I recall the old Mattel Vacuform toy (back when toys were great and lawsuits against toy companies rare), and the vacuformed parts for the Guillows balsa planes. Neither strike me as being a real viable method to build a model.
Have things changed and are these kits worth doing? Or are they as crappy as I imagine they would be?
