Re: How critical should our model criticisms be?

I buy a diecast, take it out of the box and look at it.. If I like it, that is all that matters to me...

I own hundreds planes and most of them have an "error or two", I don't expect them to be exact, or "perfect" and I certainly don't whip out the micrometers to take measurements.. What I have learned over the years is that these are not museum quality replicas, but mass produced toys marketed to adults and should be viewed as such.. We should expect a certain level of quality and accuracy, but anything past that is asking too much for the price we pay..
