Hi,
that is not only the quality of printing. I have an AVRE under scratch building at the moment so I investigated the details very closely. Furthermore, I do have own detail pictures of an in service vehicle. There are lots of details that are not or only rude designed in that kit. Undoubtly it looks like an AVRE from far, as long as you do not have too much expectations to details.
For scratchbuilding an AVRE, you would need a lot of Evergreen profiles, and there was a scale drawing by Tim Neate in the late 80s. This one helps very much. I guess you better build one scratch yourself befor you go for that conversion.Mine was started 32 years ago with Plastruct profiles and Tims drawings and rested unfinished on the Shelf for decades until now and will be finished within the next weeks. Today I would use Evergreen instead which was not available at start.
I also was looking for their Giant Viper trailer. Apart from the bad printing, a lot of parts look way off dimensions. So, there are a lot of questionmarks to their products. But consider, what would you expect for their prices which are quite low for such big printings? Detailed printing would cost way much more than their kits.
