The trail of emails on this topic really made me laugh. I can feel the mutual disgust and hatred for all of those kits!
I think all kits really tick me off at some point or another. I really love when you drool over a new expensive kit release, you pre-oreder it, jump for joy when it comes to your door and then it all goes to hell when you open the box! You know the feeling! You get a glimpse of the tracks that you know aren't worth a crap but you fool yourself and say "How bad can it really be? its a new kit!" The joy slowly turns into a personal mission from hell to complete the kit or they will find you with your Xacto knife buried into your skull from frustration.
In plastic I vote for the Tauro A7V WWI German tank. My God, the humanity! You would need a cement truck to fill all those gaps. The fit and construction must have been designed by a junior high school drafting student drop out. In resin, I vote with our friend that mentioned AEF. There are so many air bubbles in that resin I used one of their masterpieces as an emergency breathing apparatus on a recent scuba dive.
You guys crack me up. Great topic. |
