Well, was wondering (maybe somebody else already did) if it would be a good idea to do a specific post on all kits. What i mean is the following.

A person starts a post about a kit he would like to build. He titles the post with scale, manufacterer, kitname and maybe even kitnumber. Than other people can reply by pointing out stuff that are wrong with the kit or that should be replaced and the original poster edits those tips in his original posts. That way, after some time, if someone else wants to build that kit, he can look it up and immediately gets an idea on what he should fix and what to look out for.

I know that the original poster has the job of maintaining his post, so that's why i suggest that he/she only makes posts about kits he/she is actually building so not to have to keep track of dozens of posts in a short time period.

So actually it is a bit like a kit review, but than made by several people and one that can be updated at any time.

Now how about the idea? Good or bad?

I'm in two minds about the idea. We do already have a kind-of ad-hoc system going, this could formalise it (and it might lessen the number of questions that get asked again and again). On the other hand, there's always the risk that the thread could derail if two people have differing ideas on what is or isn't 'wrong' with any given kit.

We can already do this today, and there are quite a few threads where someone asks for advice about specific kits. And the Search feature allows me to "mine" the entire forum for information about a project I'm starting.

You can also search the forums in Google using a search query like this:
