 Subject:   Review hype generating false expectationList thread.  
  
 Date:  Aug 24, 2005
 From:  Luke Pitt 
I ordered and recieved some tracks for a US m3 hALFTRACK in 35th cast in 1 piece....To say these were junk is an understatment the casting and from the look of it the master were very much below par....I gave them away.
The new gee wiss Tiger 1 in 35th scale is another example but for different reasons The model itself is first rate but I got sucked into the hype and purchased one only to find I'd never really build it anyway.... again I sold it 1 month later for half what I paid for it...why?...I was so upset I purchased something I didn't really need or want I had to off load it quick....go figure!
