Pud,I hear ya, but that is life in the Internet age for better or for worse. Do what you do and do it well. It's one thing when you have to make a decision about which correct versions to offer; I think you can tune any of the negative feedback out at that point. Now, when a manufacturer chooses to use the wrong colors, wrong road number, wrong dimensions, etc. in spite of overwhelming resources available to do it right...that's when there's probably some merit to the negative feedback. I don't own any Rapido products, but it looks to me as if you guys are out to do it right rather than do it quickly.Is there any evidence to suggest that run-of-the-mill Internet grousing actually hurts sales? I can imagine, OTOH, when something is universally panned (witness the IM SD45-2), sales probably suffer...but a half-dozen butthurt hobbyists should not make or break you.
If you're one of those manufacturers that puts conspic stripes on cars...THANK YOU. Yes, I am the diverging opinion on this one. Thank you for acknowledging that modern modelers exist. I know it isn't that tough to add them to cars, but I have other things to do with my time, and why should every car made be set up for 1980? I have added these stripes to so many cars already.We all have different needs and I know many are chronologically specific, so thank you to the manufacturers that cover all of our eras.
