… Which brings us to ask ourselves; "Do I prefer Detail over Accuracy… or visa-versa?
As Charity will cover a multitude of sins, so will Detail cover a multitude of inaccuracy’s, in my way of thinking. I done a diorama of the 1/32nd Revell kit one time, and to camouflage the incorrect nose profile, I cut out and scratch built the Battery Door, and mounted it raised, with three crew members looking inside… with one of their shirts laying at the base of the windshield. Like that, the inaccuracy was completely unnoticeable.
On the other hand, the correct profile means little, when the rivets are the scaled size of door knobs!! Yikes! [:0]
Detail wise, the 1/32nd kit steals the show. Do like Mel, and use a little bit from each one! [;)]

Guys,
My gripe is one company can do it right at a respectable price and another does it poor and charges the same price with no accessories. I don’t expect perfection just give me a product worth the money. MRC does it with their UH-1C’s. Full flight crew and 3 or 4 weapons configurations with the Shark kit. Panda’s Huey should be about $15 at the extreme for what they give you! Revell is excused because I was still in High School when they put out their Huey. If you can’t be passionate about something, maybe it time to grab and shovel and start digging a hole to crawl in! I still want a “good” UH-1D/H/V to build straight out of the box!
I agree with Mel.
MRC can do it cheaper, compared to quality, and a hellovalot better. And you can’t use the excuse that it’s because it’s imported. If I’m not mistaken, so are the MRC’s!!!
It’s just a matter of MRC getting off their butt’s and doing a decent D/H/V version of the Iroquois!!! I’d buy one or two or maybe even THREE!!!
I would like to see MRC do some 1/35 figures, also. Maybe some seated and some departing from a chopper.
