Or like a friend once said Its not always the kit but what one makes of it.I like the older kits as my standard of modelling doesnt warrant buying more expensive kits to make a right muck up of.I applaud those who work magic with photo etch etc.Me well the stuff fights and bites me all the way.Or it could be the Clumsy claws i have for hands.
Happy modelling guys

guys, thanks for the info and sorry about tags mix up. i had never seen italeri even announce this kit and it caught me off guard, hence why i brought it up.

You have no reason to apologize.
If you selected the Tamiya tag because you thought it applied, that is perfectly understandable.
If you did not select the Tamiya tag, you did not cause a mix-up; the software - or some āhelpfulā administrator - caused it.
You did nothing wrong; do not assign yourself or accept any blame.

I keep thinking itās some sort of automated functionality, but trying to look deeper into Discourseās source code I couldnāt find how it might do that (which isnāt saying much, because I donāt exactly feel like wading through all of it ā I just looked at files that seemed likely candidates). However, on searching online a bit more thoroughly than I did this afternoon, I find that this thread on Discourseās support/request forums says that:ā
This is now implemented per: settings->customize->watched words->tag
So Iām now wondering: Do the KitMaker forums have Tamiya as a watched word there, but not Italeri etc.?

Your comments in the M60 reference discussion greatly influenced my decision to build an ESCI M60 now and save the Takom M60 for later.
Sadly, I did not take your advice on the Trumpeter M1A1/A2. Online discussions of that model leave out some really troublesome issues. (For example, a few commentators discuss fixing the turret shape but none mention that the turret cannot rotate through 360 degrees after making that correction because the exterior topography of the entire model is completely borked.) Even though I stepped into the cow patty on that one, it is a good learning experience. For example, āPay attention to Gino because he is trying to help you.ā Ha ha!
Two years in, I heavily favor new tool models but some old tool models are cheap and fun practice builds.

I like both the Tamiya and Italeri/Esci/Revell M60s -they donāt take a lot of work to make a decent product and agree they are good challenge builds for painting and AM. The tracks are the biggest easy fix, the turret rack the other one.
