Academy Model Kits (Korea) is another manufacturer the produces excellently detailed kits, but the prices tend to be much more reasonable. You’re getting much more kit for your dollar and these kits can be as well detailed as Tamiya for around roughly two thirds of the price, sometimes less.
There are sometimes fit issues with Academy model kits but not to the same extent as short run kits or the lower priced kits like Airfix or Heller. I find these kits excellent value for money, twice the details of an Airfix kit for similar or less money in some cases. The instructions are generally good and there are colour call outs throughout the construction although they can leave you guessing in some cases.
