[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by FJ and G emeraldisle, Agree and understand why they try to recoup cost. However, the disclaimer should be made regardless. I seriously doubt if model airplane or car enthusiasts would appreciate branding an Edsel as a Chevy or an F/A-18 Hornet with Air Force insignia. [/quote] But those examples are common knowledge things that everyone knows, including my grandma. Some of the railroad triva is pretty obscure, like warbonnet paint on a loco that never had it. Model car and plane companies make plenty of errors too, they are just posted in a forum for model cars and planes buffs and we never hear of them. A real good example of this was the early F-117 stealth fighter which is way off, it doen't even resemble a F-117 from across the room. Also, a Romulan Warbird model is bigger than the Enterprise C, but in real life is way smaller. FRED
