Heretic question. Will the DML THAAD ever see the light if day?

- Price is too high.
- Aluminum for the launch tubes is interesting. Beats sanding a bunch of seams on plastic parts.
- Old Italeri sprues
- Undersized rims

With the list price, it fails to be a cheap alternative to the Trumpeter kit.

They made it a black label kit, so they've pretty much succeeded.
