Re: Model Kit Reviews

I always end up living quite comfortably with any mistakes I make...and there's always at least one. I've never been a stickler for absolute accuracy as I think it kinda dilutes the fun a bit. Sometimes I just prefer to get on with the building rather than stressing about this or that tiny detail. There will always be another model to build. I'd rather build something with some character. I'm sure I weather inappropriately a lot of the time but that's where the fun is for me. If I'm honest, I don't think I'm a very good 'builder' because the painting is what I enjoy the most. This kit has a couple of pretty ugly gaps in it that are hard to spot because of their location...not a kit fault, but mine. MAGNA is right...it's a Dragon kit and the mouldings are probably the best I've seen. I always feel funny about using putty on armour kits. I have on this one but I should have appield some to the gaps as well. I'm not losing a wink of sleep over it though...I'm enjoying the model immensely and have plans for at least four other armour kits. Late Tiger 1 with interior, Panther G, Stug IV Ausf. G and the Elefant. All will be the biggest and best Dragon kits I can get. I also have their Sdkfz. 251 'Stuka Zu Fuss' half built. That's an odd motor.
Thanks again for the positive vibes guys. It means a lot to me.
Peace.
