Their saving grace to me is that they have not lessened the metal content in their 1/32 series. Of cour5se the detail remains excellent as well. Even though it is sometimes egregiously wrong and the tools, etc. don't always fit where they are supposed to.

FoV reminds me of an ex-girlfriend who was a make-up wizard. From outside ten yards she looked perfect, outside five she looked absolutely beautiful, inside three three she was darned good looking but she just didn't bare close inspection. On the other hand she was a pheromone distributor for the SouthEast....

I agree i dont like the fact that many companies use 1/32 model kits in thier initial announcements. it doesnt ever seem to be as accurate.

I don't see how it ever could be as accurate. I haven't seen any other companies use that sneaky approach though.

True. But that usually draws you in with one offer then then moves you to pick something else. The B&S requires some level of skill on the part of the salesman to make it work.

This is simple misrepresentation. Its not a trick. Its a crime.
