Well I must confess to being somewhere inbetween. I love the older Revell kit, mainly they are cheep and I don't feel bad when cutting one up. Trumpeter has put out some really nice kit, but some things are contradictions. Why have a tail wheel and hook that can be made to move or fold, while the main gear is static and the wheel well doors too? Wingfolds that can be posed open or closed fine, but moving with a weak joint? Flaps thats almost impossible to fit with normal size hands, movable rudder, elevators and ailerons, but fixed lenght activators that fixex them in neutral position? This is just the F-4U Corsair. I love the kit, but would have wished for an option to position flying surfaces without having to cut. I have several more of theit kits, and it seems to me there's two different design departments, The Mig 3 and the P-40B are a lot simpler than many of the others and still good kits.
Actually the new Hasegawa series they partly share with Revell is fine with me, good shape, good fit and resonable details everywhere. And that at resonable prizes. The newer Revell kits like the He 162 and now the Ju 88 are just great, and the Ju 88 is great value for money.
