If I can make a bit of an observation here it seems to me that this is just one more example of the shift away from the mainstream media. There was a thread here a month ago dealing with how many people were going to renew their subscriptions to a major modeling magazine. A lot of people said they weren’t. They could get better and faster information (reviews, etc.) on the Internet. It is nice to see that major plastic kit manufacturers are starting to recognize this trend and that this website is part of that shift. Well done everyone.

Am I to understand that model makers send kits to Big A staff to build and review? That has got to put Armorama in the big leagues. Great news
