Best there is
Between this and the fast-drying version, you should need nothing else for modelling plastic kits.

Some issues but good value overall
0 von 2 finden das hilfreich This is a reboxing of an old Kopro kit and reflects its age. Some minor flashing and my copy had some sink marks on the wings over the wheel-wells which require filling and rescribing of panel lines. Overall the surface detail is good and the addition of some aftermarket parts - cockpit in particular - rewards you with a good looking kit which builds up very nicely.
3 stars reflects the moulding defects.

Nikon D3 Professional DSLR
1 von 1 finden das hilfreich This is the fourth Nikon D3 I have owned or used and follows-on from my earlier Nikon DSLR and film SLR bodies, such as the D2x, D1x and F5.
I was looking to purchase a D3s body for personal use but when the waiting list for those became too long, I decided to buy two second-hand D3 bodies instead.
I originally upgraded from the D2x to D3 early last year and used D3 bodies in Iraq and Afghanistan on a series of deployments, putting them through more abuse than most cameras have to endure in a lifetime.
I currently run two D3 bodies as well as a D3x and to be honest, this camera is more useful in 'real-world' press or editorial shooting situations than the more expensive and higher IQ camera, which is better-suited to static studio or PR/advertising use.
The majority of imagery I (and most people) produce is either viewed on a computer monitor or printed smaller than A3, making the 24Mpi D3x relatively over-the-top, especially bearing in mind its £5.5k price tag.
D3 bodies are routinely changing hands for sub-£2000 now and that makes them an absolute bargain, all the more so if you don't need the video capability or stupidly-high ISO sensitivity of it's successor, the D3s, which is still very hard to come by in Europe...at the time of writing, D3s has been unavailable in the UK since mid-March - four months now.
This camera is robust, well sealed against dust and moisture (tropical monsoons and desert heat and dust-storms) and takes a hammering (two combat tours of Afghanistan), during which the only faults were the rubber underneath one camera coming unglued on one corner (easily glued back with 'shoe-goo') and a single body-screw falling out due to the constant vibration encountered in countless helicopter and armoured vehicle trips. Nikon sent me a free spare within 5 working days.
Image quality is superb when coupled with Nikkor Professional lenses and high-quality prints can be made to larger than A0 with ease.
Handling is equally superb, with several small improvements being made over earlier models, making this easily Nikon's most ergonomically comfortable camera yet. All controls fall easily to hand making this a very intuitive camera to use.
I would recommend this camera to any press or PR photographer or to anyone who demands and expects the best from their equipment and isn't prepared to compromise.
