So too much knowledge is a bad thing?

I have to admit that I like my kits accurate. Having said that, I just want a
kit that fits together reasonably well, and is FUN to build. I don't generally
buy aftermarket barrels, PE and such. It's too expensive/time consuming to deal
with.
I'll eventually build the old Tamiya Matilda despite its inaccuracies. But I do
appreciate knowing about the inaccuracies, and I especially appreciate that you
have been debunking PERCEIVED inaccuracies! Like with aftermarket barrels, the
slope of the Sherman hull etc.

Given the amount one can spend on a kit these days, it's nice to know if one is
buying an accurate rendition of the vehicle...

Keep those calipers warm!!

Andy
