Those of us who are real modelers know that every part that goes into the model has to be selected for its intended purpose. Selection based on many things such as our own experience, what we read or learn from other sources, etc. Today, the situation is really no different than it has ever been in this regard. I've seen some really crappy products from many sources over the years. China is just in the forefront as a major source for the parts and equipment we use these days.
