There are so many kit manufacturers out there and new ones coming onto the market on a regular basis and whilst they all have their own definitive advantages and disadvantages, they are all very much of a muchness.
But then ... for once, someone like @DaHaimodel comes along which truly elevates "kit" building into a new realm. All I can say to all SOS members, you are in for a very special journey here. First and foremost, @DaHaimodel pays meticulous attention to all licensing and copyright issues - which in my book at least - shows me that they are serious about furthering the hobby - they are not just here to make money. Look at almost every photograph they have posted during the development phase - each was captioned with a specific reference to what plans are used, the origin and source of the picture and so forth.
This is in stark contrast to other manufacturers who buy an Ancre Monograph or NMM plans for personal use, then start the development of a model which gets everyone excited and then when there are enough oohs and aahs, do they "reportedly" only start the issue of obtaining commercial licenses for those monographs and plans. Simply put, @DaHaimodel is different ... very different.
I for one welcome them with open arms to SOS and can say unequivocally that they have my full support and backing as long as they keep on doing what they are doing now. Just do not expect their product to come cheap. If you do, you sell yourself short ...
