That’s the funniest thing I’ve read today! A+++
What’s great is the market for hobby kits is strong and supports a variety of choices. Much of preference depends on what the modeler wants out of a kit.
If you or someone likes MiniArt or is even a MA fanboi that’s cool! We all have our preferences. Ryefield & Tamiya fan here, I like painting 10x more than building. What’s fantastic is we have so many PUMA kits, we can select what we like best in a kit.
I buy a fair number of AFV kits, probably ~15 to 25 a year, yet MiniArt is never a contender for any purchase. I started a MiniArt kit and hated everything about building it.
Gave away the half dozen MiniArt kits I’d purchased accordingly, haven’t and won’t buy anymore MA’s due to:
- Design
- Soft plastic
- Fragile suspensions
- Excessive part counts
- Plethora of small parts
YMMV
