I'm in the heretical camp with Michael (the other one). I'm not detail-minded enough to worry about the accuracy of a kit (I think I even have one of the dreaded Glencoe Albatri). For me it's the nostalgia that counts.

Speaking of inaccuracies, I have a very old Frog Shackleton whose skin rivets must be almost six (scale) inches high...
I remember that one! You could practically use the wings instead of a file! Heavy as lead, and it was the later model with a tricycle undercarriage. Mine's long gone, but I think I have some b & w negs of my cousin's kids holding that one.
