My comments about accuracy weren't about Tamiya, or their F-4B at all. What I wanted to say is that your truth doesn't really matter: it doesn't matter that the majority don't care, when the manufacturer themselves obviously don't care that they don't care 😉 If the manufacturer just goes for what the majority need, their products simply won't be cutting edge. We get better kits also because it's pushed by the expectations of the minority, not all but they represent the edge. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

When you design your decals you care about thing like accurate colors, fonts, sizes... or not?? even most people won't care or notice? If your decals are the best, why anyone want an other that is not quite as good, I mean that's rather a legit question? Not acting like one is representing everyone else???

You must have me confused with someone else. This is the only scale modeling forum I post on, and I never started a brand bashing thread - not here, not anywhere.

I'll also be drawing up the earlier conical fins, as well as Mk-15 Snakeye fins. Several other Vietnam era ordnance is in the works as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
