Ok fair enough,I accept the technical difficulties.Its good to hear that explained.Was,nt aware of this before,not being a
model maker.
This does'nt however cover why the model is always
inaccurately desigend in kit form.If someone like me (an unskilled, no general interest in models at all-except for the UFO) can produce an accurate scratch built model,why
can't the experts or the general manufacturers.I mean even KONAMI have got it completely wrong.
