Well, a kit in 144 scale is small and hard to paint by nature, one cannot really blame the manufacturer for it.
Also one may be tempted to say 'Minicrap' in some cases, but their kits are not bad across the board and every manufacturer has some lemons in its portfolio. I have seen a number of Minicraft kits built into very nice models.

I guess everyone has an opinion as to what is good and what is bad. Also, I don't have the resources to purchase say... a twenty five dollar cockpit assembly from a third party, or a complete wheel assembly made of metal, so I make do with what I have. I favor the 1/48 and occasional 1/32 scale models. And we are all entitled to our comments and what is good for the goose may not be good for the gander....But I'm optimistic, as long as you have fun building, that is all that matters to each individual. No one is blaming the manufacturer but if you like your fingers to cramp up or cross because the parts are so small, I guess to each his own. I'm 6 ft. 2 inches tall and my hands are just as big, so it is a little difficult to work with these models. I do enjoy watching videos of other modelers when they assemble these miniature planes, they do magnificent work. Almost everyone....
