Default RE: My pet peeve in scale

People who take the hobby too seriously.

I think that scale is a great thing and I truly appreciate all of you guys who spend copious amounts of time getting all the panel lines and rivet details super correct. However after working on a lot of the full scale versions over the years I find it comical because no two planes are the same. All have differentiating panel lines and rivet details are similar but no two are exactly alike.

Anyway I think we should all have the latitude to paint scale models anywaywe like. Especially when it comes to camo. When I was in the Military we spray painted over the factory camo job when the paint was getting weathered. So in essence I guess what I am trying to say is, don't take the scale details too seriously. Close is close enough.

My 2 pennies worth.

I am enjoying this thread.
