 Take my ramblings as you will. I have a few thoughts on model cars and "accuracy".

I always ask myself these questions when looking to purchase a "questionable" kit.

 The 1st thing you need to ask is: How accurate does it have to be?

The 2nd question is: How many other kits are available for this particular model?

3rd question is: If this is the only kit out there, will you not buy it because it is inaccurate?

4th question: How many other people, other then myself, will notice the inaccuracies once it is built?

And, question 5: If the inaccuracies are small can they be fixed while building the kit?

I like your way of thinking Mark, as I'm also not a "spot on" type of guy either. I enjoy this hobby very much and have done so for years without burdening myself wit 100% accuracy. Other modelers feel different about this and it's their choice.

I have a couple---a '71 Riviera and a '73 Bel Air, they seem quite accurate as far as proportioning and detailing.   I love 1/43rd, have been buying more lately...got a few from BoS and NEO also..
