In reviewing kits I’ve ranked them out of 100 total points split into four different categories: Kit Features (out of 20), Quality of Molding (out of 50), Instructions (out of 20), Miscellaneous (out of 10). My inbox reviews aren’t meant to address things such as fit but rather what people can expect after opening up the box.
Kit Features
The “Kit Features” section is meant to address anything the kit includes that wasn’t required to reproduce the subject. Inclusion of Photoetched parts, single link tracks, or nice touches the manufacturer added to benefit the modeler.
Quality of Molding
How well detailed the model is, the most important part of the In Box Review. In addition to detail, this section is meant to address any manufacturing defects as well such as flash or damaged parts.
Instructions
The overall quality of the instructions. How clear they are overall as well as construction material, format, colour v.s non-colour, type of marking profile images included.
Miscellaneous
Any other things not included in the other sections, typically includes the decal quality and the amount of markings included.
Any number over 50 percent of the select score means a net positive effect on the overall build while any score under 50 percent of the total score means a net negative effect on the quality of the kit.
