Yes, some artists do this - which, of course, doesn't make you an artist as much as a skilled technician - which is in no way pejorative.

I have one of these models, as well. I probably got mine back around 1990. I assembled mine but never fully painted it or detailed it. I put mine back in the box, after the stand broke, many years ago. I have no idea if it is an MPC brand and I'm not eager to get it out of storage to determine that, right now. Being younger then, I didn't know how to build a model properly and I would not have noticed all those inaccuracies. I am curious, however. I'll probably look for it one day soon and see how it compares.
