We've just released three small kits in our new Crafty's kit series. These kits are intended for beginners as well as those who are challenged with limited space on their layouts. Aside for waiting for paint and glue to dry, you could literally build these in an hour or so. The best part is they are priced within $20 and $30.
If you're trying to get a friend involved in building kits, this is a great way to introduce them into a fun and challenging hobby; without the intimidation of the bigger kits. Hopefully, these small kits will bring new modelers into the hobby - it's easy to picture someone who's never built a kit before, build one of these, step back and suddenly realize a great sense of satisfaction from their accomplishment and want to do more.
