                        The latest 1:72 kits from Airfix are great.  Really nice detail.

                        Oh I Dunno!

                         It seems to be very fluid. Some kits are just Bango and others, meh. It seems to be specifically related to planes so it's all over the place. Some good, great and bad

                        I haven't found that to be generic to the scale. I don't think the scale is as popular as it used to be, just guessing.

                        Yeah, they seem to focus more on 48th. I have some excelent fitting and detailed 1/72 but mostly just meh.

                        Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

                        1/72 scale issues(?)

                        So here is my question, is it just me or do modeling companies kinda "forget about actual quality on 1/72 scale models.  For example, the F-22 by Italeria, the big stuff fits great, however the weapons bays doors don't fit.  The Academy A-10, stuff fit, but it was just off so is it just me or do manufactures kinda ignore 1/72 scale stuff?

                        Ting Ting Ting, WTF is that....
