My favorite line from the article

“The basic kits feature sleek cars, planes and ships you build by breaking parts off a plastic tree, gluing them together and then painting and applying decals. The process often takes many hours to either complete or abandon in a sticky mess of adhesive collateral damage.”

It’s mainly about Revell USA also, interesting read https://www.chicagotribune.com/coronavirus/ct-coronavirus-illinois-plastic-model-kit-revell-20200504-dlehia2b5bfbnbfws4kszy5jvy-story.html

It would be nice if people stick with it. I liked what the article said about instant gratification. I guess I am turning into an old fart , but it seems our society is so hooked on getting something quick and easy.
