The Worst 1/72 HobbyMaster Aircraft to date

You can't have the sweet without the sour. Here are HM's worst 1/72 releases to date, in my opinion:

• HA2006 - B5N2 "Kate" - Soryu first attack wave, Pearl Harbor, Dec 7, 1941. The livery is of questionable accuracy and the model is overpriced. Either closed or (especially) open, the canopy is too thick and looks poor. Overall detail is unconvincing. Pilot figures look blobbish. I have a couple of Kates, but they, and especially this livery, do not represent HM's finest hours.
• HA1214 Grumman TBF-1 Avenger, "8-T-1", "Battle of Midway". Just because you have the parts for the underwing radar antenna doesn't mean you're obligated to use them. While there's something to be said for their attempt to fix the misshaped fuselage door window, the high cost of this model coupled with the bizarre decision to include the antenna put it on this list.
• HA2108 North American F-100D "Thunderbirds" "ONE", Major Neil Eddins. I must say - I love this model. However, two major production mistakes put it squarely on this list. The one everybody has been complaining about is that the horizontal and vertical stabilizers are missing a white background behind the blue stars. What people seem to have missed is that there's another major mistake - the panel of flags below the canopy has also been printed upside down.
• HA0131 - JU-87-D3 'S7+CL' StG3 Gambut, Libya. HM makes two 'Libya' Stukas. The other one almost made it to my '10 best list.' Unfortunately, the beige topside of this one looks fake and plasticky. Both of the Libya ones are, as of this writing, still available cheap. Get the other one and give this one a wide berth.
• HA1304 - A-10A, 45th TFS, Indiana ANG, Grissom AFB May 1994 "D-Day Anniversary." I had to have at least one of HM's early "didn't look quite right" A-10s on the bill, and this particularly ugly livery takes the cake.
• HA1003 - Hellenic AF (Greece) F-104G - HM should have left this hideous livery to the likes of Witty Sky Guardians.
• HA1401 McDonnell Douglas A-4M "The Last Skyhawk" - does anybody anywhere find this livery anything but ugly?

Close to being on this list: HA2801 F-22 Langley. Ugly panel gap, non-gold canopy, forgettable 'presence.'. HA2801 Me-110 'Shark Mouth.' Unrealistically 'clean' and ugly livery and too thick radar antenna.
