Good points guys.

Yep, it was me who didn't like the Arnhem book. I'm not into Panzer rarities,
and the poor quality of the photos was my focus.

Mike, you make a good point about reviewing a book before it is read, but then
again, we know the typeface will be readable! Upon opening a model box, one
can observe a lot about the kit that will be useful to others. I too take In
the Box reviews less seriously than construction reviews. As I work on the
Academy Honey, my opinion keeps chanaging! It looked so good in the box...

I guess my main point is that I want to figure out how to review kits and let
the reader know what I'm "grading" the kit on. I suppose some kind of
introductory paragraph would be the thing.

And I would buy a 3 star kit (and have), and I've yet to see a perfect kit
(although I haven't worked on my Tamiya Cromwell and others in the pile!).

Andy
