The fun is sucked out of the hobby when collectors are told what to buy or not to buy. Let people buy whatever they like without nitpicking everything to death. Nothing will ever be perfect!! Nobody made you the spokesman for what is good or bad; people are not stupid; let people decide on their own what they like.

"Irresponsible, borderline moronic, and illogical" might apply to this situation if we were working with an unheard of manufacturer, which is clearly not the case here. Only goes to show that NG has garnered enough public confidence that their models will more than likely be better than yours.
As far as "nothing will ever be perfect," that is categorically false. There is an objective standard of perfection when producing replicas. There would be nothing to nitpick if aircraft models were as close to the real thing as possible, and we're seeing how NG is doing their best to accomplish this. Sorry, but you don't get to bash on others recommending one brand over another just because you're complacent with mediocrity.
So let's stop calling this NG L-1011 is a "pipe dream," I think we can both agree that it'll probably be more accurate than anything else out there in any scale.
