galfa Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 (edited) Fellow modellers, Now more than ever, we live in an age if uncertanties. However, there is some ligth in this dark historical juncture. Two very important truths are emerging from this forum, giving new confidence in the future. The first one is that - His Majesty The F-14 Tomcat - is the most loved aircraft jet ever. No further investigation is needed. The second one is that forums like this have evolved into marketing tools competely empty of any consumer protection. Live long and prosper.

niart17 Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 With a start like this, there's no way this thread makes it to 100, let alone 300. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Slartibartfast Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 Instead of closing this, move it and Jenning's thread to Off-topic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
niart17 Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 This one perhaps, but why the other? It's about a jet model. It has useful information in it if you dig. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ElectroSoldier Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 An interesting point raised is that the forum is used as an uncontrolled marketing tool. ModelCollect did it with their B-52s and AMK also post in the thread for their model. Its like an official unofficial press release.. ModelCollect for instance, apart from visiting their web site how else would you know about the correction update to their kit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think his idea of fun would be nearly what mine is, according to the way he used to have fun in the first saga of "The Lord Of The Rings", where he's seen puffing on his pipe, sitting, while chastising toddlers for being too noisy.

How many people were taken in by ModelCollect and their B-52 release debacle right here on this very site because they assumed the protection of ARC. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
