I bought these two very different glider kits for
wargaming Bolt Action on the island of Crete. The larger
kit is by Sarissa and is apparently 28mm and made from a
combination of mdf and card board.
The smaller kit is made by Hobby and is a 1/48 normal
plastic kit.
Pros and cons, cons first. The Sarissa kit is huge, compared
to the 1/48 scale Hobby kit and to be honest is an incorrect size.
It has also started to come apart along some of the joint lines
and will warp if left near a heat source. I also had to reinforce the
wings to support the weight.
The Hobby kit was quite difficult to assemble and the glass windows
were a royal pain to insert into place. The Hobby kit was nearly twice
the price of the Sarissa kit.
The positive points were that both kits look excellent when painted
up and really bring the wargaming table into the lime light. They are
also an essential part of the Cretan terrain if your wargaming the
invasion of Crete.
