"The build time is becoming intolerable now with the new detailed ARF’s to choose from"

Those who feel this way are not their target market. Unfortunately those who feel this way are increasing. Modelers come in all definitions and not just one is correct however, each will pursue the hobby to his or her satisfaction. I build kits and have moved to scale. If those kits become less, which they are becoming, I can see the move to plans building in my future if I cannot find the subject in kit or short kit form.

I do beleive kit cutters will be thriving soon as many in my opinion would much rather send the plans off and the have the kit, of thier choosing show up at thier door. However I also prefer my 100's of records to CD's but that doesnt mean I don't by CD's. However thank goodness you can still get LP's
