my 2c
i have been a proud owner of 4 jl f16's 1/6 all purchased through MK he was a friend before becoming my jl rep
anything i needed i never had to wait for it was always delivered timely. my last f16 unfortunately went in due to engine issue
and i went back to him and he told me he could no longer supply me with a new model
and come to find out that if i wanted the exact same set up it would cost me almost double. for the people like myself who cant afford to shell out 7k or so for this model all at once its kinda of a bummer because it is my favorite scale model to fly
modelers should be able to explore more than one avenue not be channeled
im not saying at all anything negative
or anything about a company's support it just should be available to everyone with options
