Re: A question

Personally, no I do not share this view. (I do however share the wish for more funds )

Few of us can "have it all" due to money, space, or spousal constraints so we're forced to be selective. That said, HM I feel is also coming out with a lot right now to establish the brand as a top tier player in the space -- while most of the giants, aside I suppose from Franklin Mint, are a bit... dormant. (CW is making some noise, too...)

Once they have a portfolio of molds/scales that establishes them as one of the top makers, I think they will slow a bit, as this has tended to be the MO for most other companies.

I do wish HM would cater more to the "collector" with more limited runs and certs with most of, if not all of, their releases but at least they've shown some movement here, as well. (I would still like to see a higher quality cardboard used for the packaging though.)

Higher quality cardboard has been our consideration for a long time. It may be wise to use to use stronger carboard for larger aircrafts like the A-10, F-4, etc. As you know, it is still the price problem. A stronger carboard is much more expensive but HM will give a good thought on this.
