Default Frustration with model manufacturers

I find it incredible that the models out there need so much work to make an accurate representation of the real thing. With tamiya the king hauler needs major work to look like a peterbilt or kenworth, the knight would need reshaped headlights etc to be a freightliner and so forth, then there's the trailers! They're all too short and the tanker is all wrong, too high on the chassis and no details underneath the tank. Don't get me wrong, I don't hate tamiya at all, just frustrated there are no kits out there that are 100% accurate representations of the real thing straight out the box. Don't know so much about wedico stuff but I don't think their trailers are much better.
Guess it makes it all the more satisfying when we custom build stuff or modify the kits out there.
