Response to While I agree with you on the matter of Realism, Scott
the degrees of "accuracy" that people care about. I'd submit that any 1/48 replica of a 1:1 thing cannot be "accurate" 100%. Accuracy is also about human perception. I have no clue if the Hasegawa 109s or Hasegawa spitty's are "accurate" in my mind's eye....because I cannot see where they differ from a 1:1 item. I can see that the HobbyCraft panthers are not "accurate" for some reason.....it just leaps out at me. Its a huge deal....its a deal breaker.

The other point is...will I have that same attitude 10 years from now, when no further suitable F9F is available? Will I care as much? Will the missing 3 inches in the Hasegawa 109s start to bother me at some point if I stare at them long enough?

Its all dynamic...no 2 people care about exactly the same things at any given time, and those cares are fluid depending on a myriad of factors.
