Dazed and confused
my twopennuth
i dont think that they have gone bad just they are not as prolific at bringing out new stuff like they used to and other companies are over taking them
the Ducati Panigale is a beaut of a kit and that didnt come out that long ago, yet the older bikes like the CB750 and Katana are still lovely to build and they are so old Noah built them as something to do whilst waiting for the water to go down
wouldnt want to see them do a 'classic' range ala Airfix.........even thier oldest armour kits still go together nice even if they are basic and considered out of date......and id rather spend 9 quid of a Panzer 2 or SAS jeep and know it will go together than anything Airfix punt out as a 'starter kit'
every manufacturer has its dodgy ones........Tamiya Porsche 959 comes to mind, i really struggled with that one and still didnt finish it without 'surgery'.........ive got a SHAR in the stash and definatly intend to have a crack at it simply cos its supposed to be a dog to do
when you think just how many manufacturers we had back in the 60s/70s and now we have simply hundreds with even more offering aftermarket stuff.......considering we are supposed to be a dying hobby it all seems to be going well
