Hi Jean-Luc

Nice report!! It was really fun to spend the 2 days in Nürnberg with you and I hope we can go there next year too...

Do not be too hard with the Japanese manufacturers. They keep some news for the Shizuoka show in May. Also the 1/35 Nutrocker from Hasegawa was welcomed very well in the Ma.K. scene (did not put so much emphasis on it as I had the impression that I already knew about it but apparently it was kept pretty much secrect til N'berg ... )

all the best

Hi Steffen,

I don't think I was too hard, it was just an observation. Personally I prefer lesser, but higher quality products, than a lot of stuff which are flawed... no I won't mention any names!

Hi Jim,

Thanks!

I'm sorry that I couldn't cover Armor, Ships and other stuff. This time two days were really short. Hopefully the KitMaker Network will be able to send a team again in Nürnberg next year...
