MasterKamera - As a reviewer on this site, I try to give a balanced review. I also point out the flaws in a kit (be it in quality, or accuracy). But... I (and many other reviewers) come at an in-box review from the perspective of a modeller, not a kit assembler. So for me, and for anyone with even a modicum of modelling experience, some flash here or some soft detail there isn't (and should not be) a bother. Hence i'll use terms like 'this shouldn't be too much of a worry for those with a little experience and some sandpaper', etc. I also try to make some comments on what I perceive may be possible buildability issues. Some of these potential issues can be gleaned just by viewing the plastic parts on the sprues.
There are those of us who remember the days waaaaay before Wingnut Wings or the modern Eduard incarnations where we actually had to do some good old fashioned modelling. Not every manufacturer (not even all of the big ones) can make drop-fit kits that take no effort to build. Anyone who has built an early Eduard kit, for example (think of their Pup, Hannover, Morane L, etc) knows what I mean, and those kits were released back in the 90s when we were glad just to get any kits at all (and as an aside, these kits are all still quite buildable, even now). The companies our little niche deal with are often small, and use limited run moulding techniques. I, for one, am simply thrilled that we even get kits of some subjects. So let's not be too harsh if something doesn't fall together.
If you're afraid to get your hands dirty with a little bit of fitting and sanding, and some filler here an there, or if you want to have a swipe at every manufacturer who doesn't manufacture the perfect kit each time every time, then I respectfully suggest you take up knitting (but watch those needles, I wouldn't want you to poke yourself in the eye).
Cheers,
BC
