We have had comments on how easily our kits go together, as well as just the opposite, with some modellers remarking on how difficult they are to assemble.
Some people have great difficulties with painting, while others have no problem at all.
Many modellers simply do not read the instructions included with a kit. This seems to be more prevalent among those who have been in the hobby a while. Those new to the hobby have fewer problems with resin kits, possibly due to the fact they are still novice enough to carefully read the instructions. At the 1996 Ottawa Railfare Train Show we had a customer at our booth discussing the problems he had painting his kit. Well, no, came the rather sheepish reply.
