Yeah, small volume production can suck.
I'm presuming it was a resin ?
Some of the resin models I've built over the years I think I'd have been easier starting from scratch than trying to reshape the parts to fit

when you say the small volume production sucks what are the good companies for models. i am asking cuz i wanna start one

You can immediately recognise small volume production models from their price, which is mostly twice or trice as high as a decent plastic main stream model. If you really want to start buy some cheap Revell or AMT kits (depending on the subject) and start experimenting with those. Normally they are so cheap that you don't need to be too afraid to spoil them. Having done a few of those, go over to Tamiya, which are more expensive, but after having done the Revells you will appreciate how good they are.

Yep, tamiya are consistenttly better.
There are occasional great ones from others but you're "safer" with tamiya.

It's probably best to expirement with Tamiya until you know what you're doing, then buy other, less prolific brands. Some of my best models are by companies I'd never heard of before.

If money is not a problem, yes, may but Tamiya kits are about twice as expensive as the ordinary Revell or AMT kits and you may get frustrated as a beginner to have spoiled such an epxensive kit.
