The quality ratings can be translated thus: 1 star = Crude; best avoided by everyone except Wargamers, 2 stars = Fair; can with quite an effort be made into a nice model, 3 stars = Good; but requires some work, 4 stars = Excellent; top notch kit, only very minor problems, 5 stars = Superb kit; hard to fault, can be built into an excellent replica straight out of the box.
