It could happen that way, to be sure. I don't think many really know what goes on in China. I know I don't. This is surely a very competitive venture, even over there, with so many wanting work. But, my experience with World Models has been good. Most recent has been with this AT6 and I can endorse it in design, structural integrity, appearance (with the exception of the stupid looking pilot bust and the lack of cockpit detail), material quality, and completeness (they even give you a clear plastic template the shape of the cowl to aid in locating and sizing the cut-outs for your engine). She looks good, flys well, and will take some abuse without folding up on you.
