RE: Do we need better defined categories?
What do you mean when you say ARF ?
Hangar 9, VQ-Model, ModelTech and much more ?
What's about the models from CMP; KMP; YT ?
I think they all are ARF and Build kits.You have a lot of work, if you want to have a Scale model.Weathering, Decals, Retracts and so on.
Or FC; Sist; ?
Ready Fuselage and Wings.Prepared for all Components, but much more work for finishing the kit.
Or an kit like Arizona Models; Flair; TopFlite; Balsa Usa ? A lot of wood and a whole of work.
Don't forget the Scratch Build Models.
Sorry about my bad English
