I noticed my review on the 1/72 scale Verlinden Bradley Reactive Armor linked to Squadron's catalog: http://www.squadron.com/ItemDetails.asp?item=VE2185
That's sort of neat.

They have been picking up our reviews of late, due to Merlin's good works, building a relationship with them

A month or so I noticed they were creating HTML pages on their site to replicate our reviews (for products they supplied to Rowan). So I offered to make them a "safe site" where they could link to and save them a lot of work. I didn't know they would expand on the idea and link to other non-supplied review items. That is a nice bonus!

That's very cool. Good for you Sabot. I just did a quick check and at least one of my reviews, of the Accademy Stug IV, is also linked there. More good exposure for Armorama.

Wow..this is pretty cool.. I just noticed too that they have linked to my review of the 1/48th German Schwimmwagen. Also more good exposure for Armorama .

I checked some other items I reviewed as well like the Tamiya M4A3 75mm and 105mm Shermans, Dragon Leopard 2A4, and the AFV Club M41 suspension. All of them are linked to the item descriptions. I guess that makes me almost famous.

WhooHoo, I made one too. My review on the Eduard Bradley Interior was linked. Funny, my review on the 1/35th Bradley Recative Armor wasn't. Oh well.
We are all going to be famous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just checked it myself - my name is listed on Squadron website with links to Armorama reviews only four times, but in total they link to 17 of my reviews!

Pawel - If that's a complaint. Don't you think that's like "fly stuff in the pepper" ? They are not required to link to Armorama, so please do not kill the Golden Goose.
Pete - Hold that thought for 15 seconds !

Nope, not a complaint at all - I don't care if they use my name or not. It is great that they link to Armorama!

I just checked my review of the Trumpeter As90 and Squadron are linked to that too. Kinda makes you wonder how many of the Armorama reviews they're linked to.

They may be linking to any review of any product they sell. I checked the Trumpeter IS-3M kit and they link to both Jimbrae and my reviews.

Unfortunately they don't stock Mig Productions items, so neither of my reviews are 'linked'... I think there's a message there... Get writing you lazy git.. If only I could work out how to add my pic's to the reviews I've written.
