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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
