Be careful, as definitions of a decent kit are subjective.
My first plastic kits were Revell, I think they were decent enough even if the pilot was molded into the fuselage halves. Then when I go more pocket money I moved up to Airfix with the occasional Revell, which was a big improvement. As a teenager with a Saturday job I moved up to the occasional Tamiya and was really impressed. If I had a rich Dad and had started with Tamiya, I would have a low impression of Airfix and be infuriated by Revell.
I think it is also possible to come from a plastic kit background and be underwhelmed by model boats. I have also read complaints on American forums about the quality and instructions in British kits generally. A lot of it is about expectations, some reasonable some not, and levels of annoyance from a scale of mildly annoyed to abject rage can be seen on forums. Some people want to punish a supplier publicly, and some want to stir the pot or take a morbid delight (schadenfreude) in the ensuing melee. All subjective, and rarely helpful.
Reference 'naming and shaming', it seems to bring out the worst of internet behaviors. What this has led to in the past on ModelBoatMayhem is open hostility and flame wars, resulting in bans. I think I can speak for Martin and other Moderators when I say, 'We don't want that on this forum'. We would rather it was a happy ship.
