Consensus on which company offers the best details?

I asked this in another thread, but it was within the confines of another subject, so I'll ask again (to those who won't mind, I hope.)

I'm assuming that Tamiya and Hasegawa have the monopoly on the greatest amount of detail. Are there even better kits? (In terms of accuracy/proportions/rivets, etc...)

The Me-109E that I got from Tamiya had every last bolt on it. I was very, very impressed.

Roden (was Toko) kits have some of the finest detail one could imagine, especially in their 1/72 WWI kits.

Small parts represented by etched metal parts in some kits are injection molded in the best detail ever. The njection molded parts are also three dimensional while etched metel parts are flat.

I typically like the WW2 aeroplanes the most, but thanks for the suggestion. I'm pretty much assuming that Hasegawa and Tamiya have the largest monopoly on greater details.

Speaking of the ME-262, that is a re-issue of the DML 262, which was a re-issue of the Trimaster kit. So that does not say much about Revell.

To me it really is nicer than the Tamiya kit.............

Takes more of that modeling skill stuff to build tho :)

The 1/72 scale Revell Me-262's are a new mold and rather nice. I'm under the impression that the re-issue of the DML kit is Italeri #2613. If it was in a Revell box it would probably be the Monogram mold. hth

Okay, I was only thinking of the 1/48 262's.

You would probably be right as Monogram never did a 262 in 1/72.

The reboxing by different firms sure makes things interesting.
