Could someone please explain clearly the point of those "/news reports"?... It is just getting ridiculous! I understand "catching up" to releases from last couple of months, but this particular kit was released in 2009 ( https://armorama.kitmaker.net/news/5534 )!!! Putting it as a new release on Armorama home page just makes the Big-A look stupid. I know a bit or two about posting news reports at Armorama, as in the past I had done a lot of them myself, so it is particularly annoying for me to see such absurds appearing here now...

As I said in the other thread where you asked the question; This was listed as an Oct 2011 release and as such had not been covered here, Yes I did believe this was an older product (2008/09) than stated but had very limited time available with everything else I had to get done and I would rather put it up than miss it. Jim Rae is currently unavailable which has resulted in me trying to cover areas that I would not cover normally, and as such this will not be the last error I make.

I agree, I built one a year ago that now sits on a shelf wearing a sweater of dust.
