Hi again

Well i'm not sure if it's pad printing or decals but one of the FM plane i bought, the F104 "Last Flight", it's details peeled off quite easily and i was kinda disgusted.

Being a CDC Armour fan, i am rather unhappy with what Fm has done after the take over. The ugly and mismatching package does not go to the extent of damaging the plane during mailing but you can see the "effort" by FM. I feel that CDC Armour takes pride and care when packaging these aircraft babies for collectors like us. Even the grey packaging looks more professional and nicer. As for FM, i feel otherwise.

Only in the 1:100 scale do i see a FM improvement. That's the use of solid metal material for the base. Other than that, they have dispensed with the plastic case that everyone likes.

If you are interested in CDC Armour, i do have some stocks of them. Email me at f14tomcatz@hotmail.com
