Having developed an interest in the WW2 side of our game I thought I would order some 3rd party planes as it is sometimes not so easy to get Ares ones.
From Ebay I scored 4 Merit F4F's for AUD $28 and free postage.
I have the Ares Galer F4F and found that the Merit models were close enough in size to be identical. I received two sets of decals with the planes that will enable me to customize them but they do come with the basic US roundels already on them. The roundels are smaller than the Ares ones.
No cards or stands are supplied and they are wheels down without the drop tanks the Ares model has. Lighter in colour than the official model as well.
Overall conclusion - A good deal if you need a multi aircraft scenario and can make stands and copy some D deck cards for them. I would not use them over the Ares model as I think it is a superior model. The etchings and overall detail is just that much better.
