Re: Red 5 website & Minardi PS05
I have both the Jaguar R5 and the Minardi PS05 from Red5, and I am fond of them both. Mind you, I've not built either of them, but the general parts quality seems relatively good, and the subject matter I am excited for.
If you can find them, they're worth it to pick up.

Re: Red 5 website & Minardi PS05
I built the Jaguar and it was a very easy build for a multimedia kit.
It had some issues but I think my expectations were at least met for a new companies quality and overall kit.
I ended up selling my MP4/20 kit but feel the idea they had was right with the full detail kit.
With a little more experience I would say they could have done well filling in some gaps for us.

Re: Red 5 website & Minardi PS05
I finished my MP4/20 "all metal version" (I did it curbside). A kit not for beginners but is not so bad as some friends said.
Cheers,
Marcelo.

Re: Red 5 website & Minardi PS05
Hello my friend Ale, good to see you here again!!
Forgot to say before, I have the F2004 from Red5 too (I'll correct the front wing soon...) Would be very good to see this company back to market releasing new kits.
Cheers,
Marcelo.

Re: Red 5 website & Minardi PS05
Looks great!!
I'm really happy to see these all built up. You're braver than me to finish out the MP4/20, but the Jag and Minardi are always on my list of "nexts", along with many others.
Again, I think the kits were pretty good for a company's beginning offerings. Not to the level of MFH, but sneaking up on S27, of course the industry has generally improved and moved-on, so for their time they were good. Parts quality is pretty good IMHO, and come with pre-templated cf decals, nice seat-belts and the like. I'm sorry they went away, because they offered some different kits, away from the standard reds.....
Cheers,
Chris

Re: Red 5 website & Minardi PS05
Daniel (RED5) had some great ideas for new models, and had done a lot of work on some that were never released.
Considering the few he released, he actually put ST27's nose out of joint, because of his acuracy and quality in such a short time compared to companies that have been around for a long time.
The only reason he is not producing anymore is because of the exchange rate, but that may change now. We will have to see.
