 Subject:  What Should Be ...-"Master" and "Std" series releasesList thread.  
  
 Date:  May 20, 2002
 From:  Neville Lord 
Hi,

I would also like to see clickable link to link injection tracks in kits.

One idea I think manufacturers have overlooked is to release a kit in both
"master" and "standard" versions.

The "standard" version would be affordable and easy to build. It would be
an exterior model, injection plastic, with one piece tracks and 80-90% of
the detail.

The "master" version would share most of the above's tooling but be a
premium product aimed at a more demanding user. It would have 99% of the
detail, and be mixed media. It would make a great Christmas present (I would
release them just before Christmas and Fathers day)

Typical features would be:

* turned metal barrels
* an extra sprue containing small and alternative detail (eg interior of
hatches & turret, periscopes & vision blocks, optional parts to back-date
the kit etc)
* selected etched metal
* large decal sheet (rub down?)
* workable separate link tracks
* tow cables

What do you think?

Cheers

Neville
