Response to Not demanding enough at all

Just because there are more generic "Sherman" posts than generic "T-34" posts does not mean that "the whole modelling world is up in arms" about Sherman kit errors. In fact, I think you'll find that a number of those "Sherman" posts are from people upset that Sherman modelers dare to complain at all!

The point being, it's not a zero-sum game. The fact that x number of people complain about Shermans (or German tanks, or airplanes, for that matter) does not mean that there are automatically x number less people to complain about T-34s. In other words, if those other subjects disappeared altogether, or had never been corrected at all, you still wouldn't get the changes the want. It makes no sense and helps you naught to snipe that some other subject always gets what they want (which is out-and-out wrong) while poor little you gets nothing.

The problem (as mentioned previously) is that Soviet tanks are just not as popular. No sensible company is going to invest in mold cutting (or re-cutting, in this case) without a reasonable expectation that there will be a return. As I could tell you myself, having complete and accurate data does not equate to making a profit.

Why fix 6264 and not 6388? I can't give you a definitive answer, but I am absolutely certain it had nothing to do with Bronco's A13 - So why bring it up?
