Accurate are link and length resin, which can be fussy to deal with. Model Kasten are very delicate, injected plastic, but are a pain to clean up. Maquette and RPM are probably the same, just different boxings.

I am biased against Verlinden. They are a definite case of "I want to see what I am buying". I'd exercise some caution with Commanders, as well. I think their white metal has been rather poor in the past.

My problem with VLS is the at times almost useless instructions, and in a few cases the incredibly bad fit. (A 36 engine)

Looking at them ahead of time would not have helped me here...
