An interesting point is brought up here. It is 'bad' to recast a kit that is OOP and unlikely to be produced again? How does one determine what 'unlikely'...
Let's separate OOP kits into two distinct categories: OOP (Out Of Production)/unlikely to be produced again and OOE (Out Of Existance)/not a chance. ...

That question brings up another conundrum. Certain parts of a model can only be made a certain way. For example, a wheel/tire on an aircraft landing gear or a...
As we salviate about copying the space station and other Revell kits, the situation changes greatly in 1998. A copyright can now extend up to 95 years from the...
