I wish I had the capital to do this. I think it would make for a great guide-type book (and accompanying website). Nothing against Curt Scott's current guide, but I've always felt like his is really more of place for the kit companies just to place advertisements.
My "guide" would not only compare each replica to the original in terms of authenticity and performance, but it would allow future replica buyers the ability to compare replica vs. replica. The detailed impressions and feedback of the actual builds, the amount of work that had to go into each, how good (or bad) the assembly manual was, how much support was available from the manufacturer, etc., would really help to answer the majority of questions that new buyers have when getting into one of these.
Of course, I probably wouldn't sell enough copies to make it worth it. Maybe it should just be a website....
