Reviews

Review Summary

The reviews highlight that the kit is similar to other models in its category, with helpful alignment tabs and a plastic roof instead of styrene, though assembly of angled windows can be tricky. The model requires painting inside and out, lacks included decals for window details, and has a deeper footprint than comparable structures, necessitating attention to space requirements. Overall, when painted and detailed, the finished product is visually appealing and does not appear plastic-like.

Reeds Book

By: Brien Mitchum

This kit is pretty much the same as all DPM kits but this one had tabs to line the walls up which was nice and the roof was actually plastic instead of styrene. The angled windows are a little tricky to assemble just take your time and it should go great.

Large building

Average difficulty for assembly with good instructions. The model requires painting inside and out and does not include decals for the window detail pictured. This building is deeper than my other main street buildings and requires space so pay attention to the dimensions.
