Hi Larry,
Well, after so many years of waiting I'm not much sure the things will change ever, it seems the manufacturers' attitude is "it sells anyway".
A comment from that thread I've posted above:
"A number of times I have asked the owner of PSC why they don't engage in meaningful proofing, given there is an audience who would freely give advice and help correct obvious errors in the pre-production stage. I like a lot of their products but unfortunately, it seems they just don't want to know !"
Regretfully this is the reality. In desperate wish for a perfect kit sometimes we use to forget the so-called "serious modellers" are less than 5% of the market.
Cheers!
