Your question hits the nail on the head and, as I'm sure you would expect there is no easy answer. Tamiya are generally top quality but they have also done reboxing of other manufacturers kits so there is no absolute guarrantee. The latest Airfix offerings are right up there with the Tamiya standards but they have a lot more older kits in thier range as well.\ said:Probably an idiot question but how do you separate the old reproduced models from the new ?Laurie
Unfortunately it's all down to experience so the best way to be guided is to use the experience you have available on here. I would pick out a kit that you fancy because it appeals to you and it is what you want to build, then ask on here if anyone has any experience of building it. If there is no -one I suspect that members here will at least be able to give you an idea of quality based on the knowledge of the manufacturer and age of the kit.
