My thoughts exactly.
I'm just about to finish their 1/48 Buccaneer S2B, which I was quite excited about, but have ended up a bit dissapointed. Warped parts, soft detail and daft mistakes in their research. Tyres! Their 1/48 Hunters on the other hand (except for the lack of flap detail) are excellent. If they are going to charge premium prices for their kits, then they need to up their game and produce their kits to a more consistent standard. I've built the Tamiya Tomcat and it is a great problem free build and worth the asking price. The faults I encountered with the Buccaneer do not make the kit un-buildable, but are annoying.
Airfix are nearly there, but not quite yet.
A 1/48 Puma would be nice though.......
