I went back and reread the Corsair article last night and have to concur with the comment about it being edited with a chainsaw. (I'm mostly building armor these days, so I only skimmed it the first time). It appears as though the author used 3 different kits (an Italieri, Hasegawa, and Tamiya) for parts, but you never get a list of what kits they are in one place. As far as a I can tell, you never even learn what Corsair model the Tamiya is.
I also think the reference to figures 20, 21, and 22 at the end of the article should have been caught by the editors. I understand that the magazine only has so many pages and you may have to cut articles down, but this could have been done better.
I still really liked the article about the M48 details - it was short and to the point, showed a good idea, and demonstrated the really good work that can be done in a smaller scale.
