I know I have been here for a short time. But I am curious about the different modeling companies. Since there are some Museum quality builders here, have any of you contacted the kit makers about discrepancies or lack of details? From what I can gather (you guys are so modest) some of you should or even have written books or major articles about the different topics.
I recently watched a BBCA show with Mr. May (from Top Gear) and him doing an Airfix factory tour and interviews. Was really a neat show, got some kids to build a life size spit that had been molded out of fiberglass. Even had May as the pilot in full RAF gear. Had some RAF pilots from that time to check it out when it rolled out of the hanger. Everyone was impressed.
Anyway, I was impressed with the Airfix policy of freely replacing missing or damaged parts from their kits. I would think that if someone with the qualifications that some of you have, that they would listen to critiques. I think some of the foreign makers, not to sound offensive, but their goal is quality and HIGHER profits ie: recent unfounded major price increases from some of our far east makers.
