Ratio make very high quality model kits, aimed at the experienced modeller. The tooling is very good, and all the plastic components are injection-moulded. They also aren't afraid to include etched brass sheets for detailed items, such as ladders, windows, railings, etc.

They generally mould pieces in roughly appropriate colours, though of course like any model, the components will look much better if painted in realistic matt colours. However if you're looking for a shake-the-box sort of kit, Ratio isn't for you. Nor are their products appropriate for children - there are a lot of extremely tiny detail components. This book explains how to improve the kits.
