I haven't found that. I think their kits are fantastic - their Churchill is so well engineered that you barely need glue. And you get a lot in the box; 2, sometimes 3, vehicles, crew figures, and variants.
I think the company that makes kits aimed at wargamers is Armourfast. Their kits are OK as a base model for upgrading or detailing. Some are better than others; Armourfast's later models are better than their earlier ones, and I was tempted by their Valentine.
But not now! I'll be waiting for PSC's Valentine.
Someone mentioned S-Model, who also make fantastic kits, including a Crusader (which is another of Armourfast's kits I was tempted by). I think S-Model have just released a SOMUA S35, but it is the Nazi-German version. So I'll be waiting for the French version, even though I have the Heller/Airfix kit.
