I would like to build the kit exactly as designed, under the condition that the kit is designed well of course. I also preffer good artwok on the model than gadzilion parts in places that will be impossible to see anyway

I aim for a model that's perfect to the kit. However, I like a model to "look right."
A car should have a nice gloss finish, a working locomotive should not have a high gloss finish. Overall looks are more important to me than details. The lines should be right, but I'm not overly fussed if the details are wrong. I'll happily leave parts off if they don't look right.

I want it to look as good as my current skill level will allow. I don't worry too much about "perfect" I have to do that too much at work...

I am not skilled enough to try for prefect! And won't be anytime in the future!
As long as it looks like what it is suppose to be, I am happy. But I have not built very many, & not yet a purchased one. I am TOO scared to do so!.Though I will try with scanned copies of the ones I bought, that is, IF I can print one! I scanned them in at TOO high a resolution! 1200 DPI!! I don't have USB 2.0, only 1.1! so that slows my Printer even more! Maybe I will scan them again at 300 or so.

Hi Dan,
1200 DPI is way too high - the file size will be massive, and will bring many PC's to their knees. Even 600 DPI is a bit big. You should find 300 DPI much more managable and the results should be perfectly acceptable.

Perfect to kit is I guess my best answer, not that I ever attain it. I think a neat clean build is more important than accuracy. I've sometimes spent a lot of time trying to correct an 'inaccuracy' only to look at the model six months later and been unable to recollect what the problem was. If it looks good, it's right.

I usually aim high but more often settle for "best with kit."

Well, it seems that most of us go for the "look good kit". Me too.
I like the fact that a paper model looks like a paper model, but I love the heavenly phrase "is that paper?".
