Model "quality"

Response to Realism?
Well, each modeler knows what kind of results he´s looking for. For me, the less "toy/die cast looking" the model gets, the better, and I try to achieve that by means of pre-shading and weathering - I still have to try panel fading and other more advanced techniques. Recently I bought tamyia clear red, green and smoke for the first time - before that, I simply painted navigation lights regular green/red and was satisfied with it. Accurate? Realistic? Not really, nothing beats the replacement made of clear streched sprue/thermoformed, a little hole inside filled with clear paint etc. Until today I never tried it, but I´m inclined to say that quantity of detail is more important than "accuracy".

Just rambling.
