I'm always curious when detail sets like these come out. How can these small market companies afford to pay to use the "big brand names" on their products? Even Dragon changes "Continental" to "Continentau" on tires (as an example) to avoid issues.
This is not meant as a shot at any producer in specific... we've seen various brands of beer, soda pop, waters, chips, pop machines, cigarettes and more used. Didn't Takom and Diopark both release contemporary "German civilian cars" not mentioning "BMW" or "Mercedes"?
All my years in ad agencies and the advertising environment, I'd like to know who's advising who. It baffles me. Why this but not that...?
Or do you simply think there is no thought put it to it at all? Pleading ignorance on using an existing brand?
Thanks for letting me think out loud...lol.
