Re: Two bargain kits-how good???

I found these two kits at Hobby Lobby yesterday, and since I haven't built any airplane models since 1962, you could rightfully deduce that I don't anything about current models. I bought these strictly on the basis of the low prices and the fact that both planes are prop jobs with cool markings. And I do want to renew my modelmaking of aircraft now.

How are these kits in terms of over-all detail, quality, authenticity, ease of build, and the fun-factor?
Anything especially notable on the negative side?
How are Minicraft Model Kits regarded by modelers?

THANKS for looking.
