Why do manufacturers paint kits?

In my case I bought a Walthers tank car kit. The tank halves are split vertically and when put together there was an awefull seam. As this kit was pre-painted and stenciled I have two options, (1) to sand the seam and try to match the blue paint of the car or (2) sand and repaint the whole tank and try to find appropriate decals or (3) leave the seam and try to hide it with weathering. It's still sitting on my workbench after over a year because I'm still not sure which way to go. <br /> <br />My point, if they are going to pre-paint cars they ought to make sure the parts fit well enough to not have to sand off half the paint. <br /> <br />Bob DeWoody
