Whether kits, decals, or the like - the unauthorized recasters, reprinters, etc. are a drain on the hobby and the vendors who support it. I liked this video - just a nice little rant.
Something to think about before you buy something not from Lance, Calvin, Kevin, Michael, Gary, or the other great product producers on this board.

Thanks for the reminder, Jordan. I have tried for many years only to buy from our best. Jim

Just watched Adam's video on unauthorized re-casting. Unfortunately, it's been with us almost as long as the plastic model hobby has been. Not only that but with today's CAD programs and 3D, just about anything and everything can be copied from full kits, to parts, to decals, and even other AM parts.
I honestly try to always buy from the original source, but when dealing through ebay ending up with knock offs from over seas so called companies has been a problem at times. But other times their product offerings are excellent, and the only ones on the market.
