In my very limited experiences with paper kits, I can make two assertions on this subject.
IMO, the German-made kits are superior in graphics and design. I wouldn't hesitate to buy more kits from Wilhelmshavener and Schreiber. They look great and are a pleasure to build. Much in part to Deutsch passion for accuracy and precision- a trait well known the world 'round..... paper kits or otherwise......
On the other hand, some JSC kits and others from Poland and the Netherlands have had me tearing my hair out. A challenge is sometimes fun, when the end result looks good. Then the challenge becomes worthwhile, right?
I have built JSC kits that were a nightmare to finish with results that were mediocre at best...... a damn shame given that I love the idea of 1:400 waterline ships.:cry:
