Been waiting a loooooooong time for MB Ltd. to enter our end of the modeling genre, and this looks to be a promising entrance!

Cheers,

New?!? This set has been out for in excess of 6 months already.

I found a link to a review of this set on my site going back to January 2010: http://figure135.blogspot.com/2010/01/review-master-box-ltd-woman-at-war-us.html

Well, as Sean's story states....

"This set has been completed and its subsequent release slipped totally under this news editors radar, nevertheless I thought it was still valuable even at this late stage for all the modelshipwrights on this forum to be reminded of its release and existence."

No need to bold text me, Mark. Sorry guys, but I just don't think something more than 6 months old is news worthy. My opinion. Use it... or most likely not.

In any case, perhaps the review is useful to your readers.

I like bold text...it's very...bold....

As far as being newsworthy, you, as anyone else, are entitled to your opinion, Rudi...just as Sean is entitled to run any news that he sees fit, albeit old news, or new news...could definitely be news to somebody!...and again, I believe that his poignant statement sums it all up in a nutshell.

Thanks for the review link, as well...definitely useful!

I don't think we're going to agree on this, but hey, you're the ME, see fit to run what you want. Glad you found the link useful, pity there's no review of the same on a Kitmaker site as well.

Last petty thing...

No: Rudi (a pet peeve since my name spelling is shown above - nothing personal meant to you, as it's annoys the crap out of me at work as well where my name is clearly represented on cards, phone lists, documents and email signatures)

Hell no, that's what makes us humans, mate....this sort of discussion has been hashed before, and most of the members all agree, that no matter how old a news announcement is, it still could be news to somebody, so we run it all! (re-run's of 60 Minutes come to mind... )

I too would like to see a KitMaker review, alas, nothing yet...maybe this thread will spawn something!

Sorry bro, post edited, and duly noted....I've got a nephew named Rudy...hard habit to break!
