Hi Paul

The only comment I'll add is that such a comparison may show us how available kits (what about the Tamiya Lee!?) compare. Obviously, I think having the reference material matters, but a comparison of 'buildability' is always interesting. In some cases one may want to build a vehicle that has been released in several guises, none accurate in total (M18, M3 Stuart etc.). So inaccuracies are only one thing to consider.

Likewise, those of us getting up there in years may be more interested in the solution with fewer fiddly parts that represents something on the vehicle as well (or nearly so) as the solution of replicating each part in scale and building the subassemblies as opposed to getting them as a single (or few piece) moulding.

Those are examples where the comparison review makes sense to me.

That said, I see no need for a separate section here. One could submit two (or more) related reviews, and have them posted simultaneously.

I do have the two Humber kits, if I ever get to building them...

Andy
