What Is everyones most pet hate with the hobby.
mine is 2 hates 1. Is that every time a kit gets released it is dicontinued before it gets to australia and we don't get one.
2.every time i get new kits into the shop the prices have gone up.And being a modeller not just a retailer that really pisses me off.

you would think that the companies like Fujimi/Aoshima would think gee everyone is running out of rims they must be selling alot well we better make more and of different types.
and how many kits does Tamiya put out a year now not many

Revell moving back release dates, they keep doing it, THe Focus was originally supposed to come out in September 03

Wheres that list.....

Cleaning airbrush
supergluing photetched parts (or anything small)
sanding primer on bodyshells
applying complex decals (i'm thinking CF here!)

Lack of supercar model kits (F1 Mclaren and TVR's especially)
Cleaning flash on metal parts


I'm sure theres more

Loosing focus and not completing a kit before starting another.

i hate it when 1. a kit comes out and i cant get it cause there is not a hobby shop with in a 100 miles here 2.when your building your supra and a spider as big as your hand crawls across your head 3.glueing small parts on to bodys after they have been painted 4.having to wait a month before i can get that kit that i cant get at the so called "local" hobby shop 5.when i loose a little part 6.when i break a windshield or something
wow i just noticed i hate alot of stuff about models but i love it so dearly.

rrrrrrrrrr that gets my goat too!

[modelman]

i agree, tamiya needs to come out w/ more 1/24 sports cars!!!

[willimo]

The only thing I hate is screwing up a model really late in the game. I invent cursewords on those days.

[labandabonnot]

In this hobby, I hate:
1- my own lazzyness
2- my insatisfaction
3- my poor skills

... And that stupid profitability that makes car manufacturers and/or model makers from selling us 1/24 beauties like Aston Martin, Lotus, McLaren F1, Maserati, etc...

AMT/Ertl being bought by Racing Champions who then fired the whole tooling staff.

Johan's AMC tooling being lost to the ages. DAMNIT I CAN'T PAY $200 FOR AN UNSTARTED George Follmer/Mark Donohue 1971 SCCA Trans-Am Javelin.

Revell's current trend towards screw on chassis.

Fujimi and Aoshima's poor distribution in stateside hobby shops.

Hasegawa's slow speed at releasing new kits.

Tamiya's refusal to release more classic car kits.

And the resin aftermarket for ensuring that I'll never have a retirement nest egg.

[suprastar]

the fact that my hobby takes up all of my money

[michael1978]

I realy hat that Fujimi is making so cool Models like Evo 6 and 7 from diffrent Tuners , but if you got the box at home and you open it the quality just sucks , for example the shit Mirrors on the Evo 5/6 Models and the shit interiour of all Evo 5/6/7/8 it sucks !!!!

And also that i got not so much time like i want for me hobby !!

Curbside models
