Hello all, does anyone know about or have any opinion about JV Models craftsman kits ? Jeff
Hi Jeff,
I have their curved trestle kit but I have not made it yet. The parts look OK though.
Mike
I've built a few of their kits years ago. I believe they are the same as the John Rendall brand of kits.
They are basically a box of stripwood with very few frills and very basic instructions. Give them a shot if you can find them for cheap enough worst case scenario you get a box of stripwood you can use elsewhere. I wouldn't pay much more than $10 for one of their kits.
Just my opinion of course.
Thank you Mike and Steve. I saw a few of their kits while surfing the web and I hadn't seen any of them before and there are no build threads on the forum. Appreciate your input. Jeff
I built a grain elevator from JV in N-scale , it was more of a scratchbuild then a kit build . Here's the box with it's contents .(https://modelersforum.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fjanbouli.com%2Fimages%2Fgebouwen%2Felevators%2Felev1.jpg&hash=a0efc6de8b67ea46db561b4a550f9dd9106935be)
Thanks for the feedback Jan. Jeff
