Ft. Benning, GA | | | | Re: Which Of These Sins Is A Deal Breaker When Considering A Diecast Model? 1) Overdone, inked panel lines. What is the measure for being overdone? I like HM's washes. 2) No pilot/crew figures. Would be nice but can live with not having them. 3) Poorly designed canopy with glaring gaps, overly thick frames, etc. I concur 4) Difficult to install and easy to lose "fiddly bits". You never know until you get it, or by word of mouth, Still I can work with it. 5) A basic lack of detail on the model. Agree 6) No stand or a lousy stand. No biggie 7) Wheels-up options, without the appropriate part for the tail wheel( Dragon's FW-190s ). This sucks, the Matchboc collection would have been better with the option of wheels up / wheels down 8) Missing parts like pitot heads, bombs, etc. Wont know till you get it. 9) Obvious gaps where key pieces of the model join together. Definately, but there are exceptions. Corgi Bombers for example. 10)Attempts to pass off one mark of a plane for another ( Witty's "FW-190A-5" which is actually an A-8 model ) Agree 11)Poor mottling, bad paint job, wrong colors, etc. Yep 12)Hard to justify prices. Yep |
