One thing I like about building 1/72 is that the rivet counters don't take that scale seriously!
Hang on, there were 86 daisies on the real one and the centers were RAL 709786425.7, please inform your Neice that that is not even close and she has been reported. :gogo

Oh now those are funny!
I cannot help thinking about my current build. I am attempting to replicate one very special tank used in a specific campaign. I reached a turning point and Saul posted clearer reference photos than I had. I was able to recreate the vehicle and in my world all is well.
I was able to recreate the vehicle and in my world all is well. When I post completed pics tomorrow, I think you all will like the end result.
I am happy with the build.
The folks on this forum understand that last statment. That's why this place is nice.

COUNTERPOINT
I can't stand it when a new modeller posts a build online and asks for critique because they want to improve and everyone just blows smoke because they can't be bothered to properly phrase some helpful advice.
Yes I know there's a way to say or not say just about everything, but if someone's honestly looking for help to improve their model making skills, instead of saying 'looks perfect!' suggest something like "That's a damn good start. Perhaps for your next build you should try to fill the seams" or the even friendlier version of "Looks nice - the next thing I learned was to use liquid cement and pressure to eliminate any seams on the fuselage, I had good luck with the old Haswegawa N1K2-J kit, perhaps you could try it, it's pretty cheap and fits well.

Do people actually still use Photobucket? I urge everyone to use imgur - it's super easy, no membership required, accepts multiple file select and even has a quick copy function (once you've uploaded a photo, where it says BBCODE there's a small icon, click it and it copy's the bbcode to your clipboard).
Yeah that was from back in the day where Photobucket was blocked while I was at work, it was classified as social media. It was amazing to see how many folks used it, it's since been opened up and I don't notice it at all now.
Advise is good. Historical research is good. Honest reviews are good. All these things make our hobby great and modelers need to take full advantage of all these things. My statment was directed at those self proclaimed high priests of modeling declaring from on high that this kit or that kit is crap because of some minute descrepency. By making statments like "why anyone would waste their money on this kit!" might their words have a chilling effect on less hardened modelers in our midst. Their retoric is overriding their purpose that of promoting more accurate kits. Tell the us about the kit the good and the bad. Offer fixes if any, but leave the commentary out. It's the attitude that bothers me not their knowledge.

My apologies, I was hopping on a similar train but in the wrong direction. I agree with what you say - I had a guy on j aircraft (of course) argue with me over the colour I painted the navigator's table in my G4M (keeping in mind there is only one "surviving" fuselage) because the shade of a certain type of wood indigenous to the area that would probably have been used (according to him) didn't match the wood effect I used. :fencing
I was more referring to the posts where people are inviting feedback and weren't receiving it as opposed to unsolicited opinions.
I'm sure the same people do both and I did refer to the behavior that you mentioned. So no apology is needed. As I said it's the attitude that gets me. How in the world we he know what kind of wood that would be used on a navigator table? It could have come from anywhere.
