The Trailer may be reissued.... with all logos removed. The issue at this time is the cost of removing logo from the one rail and reprinting the box top. The licencing issue stems from a law suit in the mid 80's. MONOGRAM, BOEING, HAMILTON STANDARD PROPELLERS and PRATT and WHITNEY were sued because a 12 year old child cut his mouth on a 1/48 B-29 propeller.The licencing fees go more to a legal defence fund than corperate profits.

That makes sense Paul. The sad thing is the lack of personal accountability. At 12 yrs old, you're old enough not 2 put foreign objects in your mouth. Not that I want the kid to be hurt, but this is when parents need to say, "See Junior, this is why we don't put things in your mouth.", not profit from it.
I know, how outdated and insensitive of me.

When I was a kid along while ago, I jumped from a second story window at a house under construction......broke my arm. I got a very simple lecture from my mother. "That was a stupid thing to do! You won't do the again! " Now it is always somebodies fault! Paul

Paul, when I was a toddler I climbed up in a piece of furniture, it fell over on me, and broke my leg. After Mom calmed down, she made sure I understood not to do that. Even though, she didn't have to say a word. The broken leg taught me not to do that again. LOL

Personal responsibility doesn't realy exist any more in the US. I don't know what other countries are like, but here in the US it's always someone elses fault. Usually the person with the deep pockets.

Remember, too, that this kit had the Fruehauf 5 star mudflaps. Another detail that has to be ground off.

Usually the person with the deep pockets. Jim, that is so true. Then again, there are almost no rules, and winner take all when dealing with civil lawsuits. Burglars have won money in court after hurting themselves in the house they broke into. :'(Now if that isn't just sick!!!!
