...just thinking aloud here...but you know these days if Pit Road or anyone else is re releasing their older stuff in new packaging, like the helo set for example, could now include a small brass PE Rotor Set. Doncha love those chunky thick helo blades in plastic.... We put up with those 10 years ago but now, costs have gone down with new technology, and I would almost EXPECT to see a PE fret there these days....comments ????

If I was a kit manufacturer I think my personal approach would be be to revisit a kit/set, review it and applying the latest technology and research improve it as necessary and then rerelease it.
I quess its that business notion of "continous improvement".
I know Dragon do it to a certain extent with various armour kits.
Yes modellers expectations do shift and thats a reality.
Cheers
