I'd object to the "Everything" in that sentence. There were a lot of grab-bag looking kits, including the Redstone Maverick (which I remember building on a picnic table in 1971!). But not all MPC kits were trashy kid stuff.
I'm fond of my "Moon Go," which has cleaner lines than the Martian Patrol. It's an original, from the late 70s.
The "Flare Patriot" is a not-bad sport model; ditto the Zenith II. The lines of the Micosonde (?) three-stager are pretty clean.
