turangi Posted August 1, 2019 #1 Posted August 1, 2019 (edited) I am curious if this is a banned kit on this site? Not sure exactly who who the manufacturer is. https://modelexpo-online.com/Falkonet--Imperial-Russian-Steam-Launch-Dagmar-in-148-Scale_p_1937.html Edited August 1, 2019 by turangi

Chuck Posted August 1, 2019 #5 Posted August 1, 2019 Falkonet is not Master Korabel.... They are two very distinctly different companies. There is currently a dispute about Falkonet which has NOT been 100% verified. However no it is not current;y a banned MFG. AND I repeat.......Falkonet is a very different company than Master Korabel.

Stevinne Posted August 2, 2019 #9 Posted August 2, 2019 Just curious, would Model Expo sell kits not acceptable on this site? I've always figured buying from them means I'm buying a kit from a reputable manufacturer. If not, things are very confusing. mtaylor 1 Under construction: Mamoli Roter Lowe Completed builds: Constructo Enterprise, AL Le Renard Up next: Panart Lynx, MS Harriet Lane In need of attention: 14-foot Pintail in the driveway
