OK, fair enough, but I have to disagree his view on available kits in the 1:35 scale.
As already noted above, the Trumpeter kits 00311, 00312 and 00356 to 00360 were well researched, especially considering the time they were released. Of course there are flaws, but no reason to slam them like he did.
His praise for Tamiya is a straight facepalm. The KV-1 had countless flaws: features don’t match the well known pictures of this particular tank at all. The KV-2 was much better, but it also cost much more than Trumpeter’s 00312 for not much value added.
He mentions Bronco, but they have (had?) only the KV-85 and two variants of the SU-152.
Rye Field has the best kits at the moment. The second kit with the reinforced cast turret is a variant not described in Neil Stokes’ book, but fortunately this one: it’s the 2nd batch of reinforced cast turrets with the two “chins” on the overhang, but yet without interlocked turret roof.
