I am a former Military Pilot and currently fly 777s for a National Airline - as a result I may have some experience and limited expertise to be able to offer some advice to manufacturers willing to listen.
I fail to see why you adamantly defend something that is clearly wrong (misaligned tail markings not horrendous - just the angle of the photo). This is more of a hindrance than a help.
I also fail to see when we are discussing a Century Wing model and its' errors - why you go on the warpath against HM. It's not germane to the subject being discussed and simply makes you appear more as a Century Wings "Fan Boy" than anything else.
In the past, Hobby Master was " burned" by a so called expert who sent William an undated photo regarding an A-26 Release. Hobby Master unfortunately listened and made a correction that actually turned out to be an error. The model was originally correct. As a result William listens to trusted advice. Photos backed up by multiple references - not just "X" is not right statements or random photos. Anyone can send corrections to Hobby Master - just make sure your information is correct, reliable and demonstrably so. Above all, act professionally and courteous and you will likely be listened to.
I'm hopeful that Century Wings will make the corrections needed on this release (there's not a lot of time left to release in April). However, they only seem to take input from distributors and the occasional collector compared to Hobby Master. This model does seem "rushed" (even panicked) no doubt due to the new situation of having some actual competition from HM. This is not the standard we usually have come to expect from CW in the past.

stand down, soldier. ffp perceives you to be the chosen one because hm listens to you (and not him
). he didn't mean you said you were the chosen one... but that you said hm no longer listens to (unreliable) information. that's all there is to it.
ffp... we don't raise issues to run down a particular manufacturer, but we do wish to see our models to be as accurate as we can. almost always i just shrug my shoulders at the end of the day and still get the model anyway.
