As I said, I'm not debating the business sense of producing Luftcat kits.
I'm sure it's very lucrative. I'm not so sure it's smart business to have
the best kit - it may be good for modellers in the short run, but the demise
of Accurate Miniatures is a good indication of what happens when quality
meets market reality head on. 

The criticism isn't Eduard's fault, but for them to complain about it makes
about as much sense as me wandering into a boxing ring and then complaining
because I got hit in the head. 

Frankly, I hope the experten does put them off producing more Luftwaffe
kits....
