You don’t like it, that’s a fact. But explain me why it should be more bastard than another? 
 
Sorry to disappoint you, but until today, who has got the opportunity to fondle the plastic to be that affirmative?

Spellchecks now means we've given up scale discussions?? 
 

And now what’s next? The Akagi deck with assorted crew in 1/32? 

… Just like my cutting mat 

… and that, WITHOUT Admiral Nagumo figure!

No, no Federico, that would be 8+1/2.

I should have warned you earlier but Nam Bolts had NO corrugated floor. Ah well! 

It's finished!

007½  ?  Is that you ???

This is my MAIN concern relating to instructions in modern kits, at least the ones I’ve built: Border Models, MiniArt, Z-M, Italeri. 
Especially when dealing with radial engines, one drawing is shown viewed from the front and the next is from the back, one from above, the other from below, etc.
Since most of the pistons (apparently) look the same, it’s very easy to do it the wrong way. Every drawing deserves close scrutiny. Some even need enlargement to show all the details.
I admit that quite a few times, I had to dismantle an assembly to rebuild it during the course of my recent builds.
Debonder, James Debonder is my name.
Thank you Maximus for the caveat  and  to the show!
Cheers,
Quang

Of course I like to think of my models as accurate  .
It depends of my degree of self-persuasion at the time. Especially when I know that nobody else but myself will see the models in the flesh.
IMO the most important is not the accuracy. It’s the good time we had when we built the model.
