Kit looks really nice. All the buildings are brown and allow you to paint them whatever color you wish. Building went together pretty easily; however the window decals were a pain to put in. Because of this I give the model a 4/5 instead of a perfect score.

Another quality Walthers product, I've never had a bad experiance with their products. Highly recommend.

As most true scale RR modelers don't think much of plastic kits the Merchant row kits are able to achieve a look that will rival the stick built expensive building kits. Take your time and spend a little extra effort on painting and finishing these kits. Good quality paints (Tamiya XF series) go a long way to remove the plastic sheen and do not forget a final spray of dullcote. (careful of the clear plastic parts as dullcote will fog them up). I now have 4 of these Merchant row building kits and several other Walther kits and it is making a very attractive small town. I also found them entertaining to build. Now I have a nice town and I am looking to get some cars, trucks, and people to live there.
