Marine Decal

Isn't it refreshing when a federal court steps back from political correctness and applies the Constitution? http://newsok.com/anti-islam-decals-improperly-banned-at-camp-lejeune-judge-rules/article/3450606?custom_click=rss The powers that be at Camp Lejeune tried to deny the freedom of speech to a decorated Marine veteran whose son was killed in the attack on the USS Cole by denying him access to the base because his car had decals deemed to be anti-Islamic. One depicted Calvin from "Calvin and Hobbes" urinating on Muhammad, and another read "Disgrace My Countries Flag And I will (defecate) On Your Quran." Thankfully, a federal court ruled that he has a right to display the decals regardless of how "inflammatory" or "insulting" they might be. What do you think? Should freedom of speech ever be curtailed because someone might be offended? Francoise: As well as YOUR right to be a Communist. Dismissed. laughing: If a pasty little leftist worm wants to take on a Marine, I suppose that's his right. It might well lead to his Last Rites. Obama seems to think so: http://www.politico.com/click/stories/1004/obama_addresses_harsh_criticism.html You see, Liberals speak often of tolerance, but only tolerate liberals. The liberal's only method of debate is to insult and discredit anyone who dares to disagree. When possible, liberals oppress anyone who questions their beliefs. The liberal seeks to criminalize any speech which promotes morality or individualism as "hate speech".

Monogram Models Quality vs Others

Most important airplane model kits producers today are companies like Revell-Monogram, Italeri, Airfix-Heller, Testors, Minicraft and others.

40-50 years ago Revell and Monogram where main competitors that were both producing airplane models. However in 1986 both companies have been acquired by Odyssey Partners of New York and were merged together. In 2006 German subsidiary separated from Revell-Monogram and established a new company with revenues even slightly surpassing the ones of the parental company. In 2007 Hobicco Inc. announced acquisition of Monogram-Revell LCC. Some of the new models of Revell from Germany are known for its high quality but still not same as that of Monogram models since today Monogram brand is used for high quality models line called Pro Modeller Kits.

Remaining eminent model manufacturers are listed in the article bellow.

Italeri is Italian producer of various plastic model kits. Overall impression of Italeri model kits is that they are representing mid range quality, but to note is that their newer kits are constantly improving. Nevertheless Monogram models are better ranged in quality then Italeri.

Airfix is large British plastic kits producer which was founded in 1939 and owned by Humbrol as of 1986 until 2006 and is today owned by Hornby. As for quality it is in higher middle range trying to benchmark Revell of Germany but still not reaching professional quality standard of Monogram models.

Heller is French based kits manufacturer which was founded in 1957 and was part of the same group together with Airfix since 1986. In 2005, Heller was the subject of a management buy-out but the following year the company went into administration. For many years Airfix models were produced in France alongside with Heller models which mean that they are of the similar quality as Airfix and inline with Revell line of Revell-Monogram company.

Minicraft Models is manufacturer of plastic kits based in Illinois, USA. Although Minicraft on some editions has a quite bad reputation for poor molding, bad fit and a bad correlation with the original they have started to improve with their latest molds. On the other hand Minicraft decal sheets are of exquisite quality. Overall Revell quality is higher while Monogram models represent a quality benchmark.

Testor was founded in 1929 and started producing hobbyist model cement in 1936 and in 1945 it started balsa models production. During 70's Testor has added to its portfolio brands like IMC and Italeri. It is a manufacturer with long standing tradition and high quality image but is ranged slightly bellow Monogram which is positioned as a top quality line.

Overall we can say that airplane models quality, due to improved molds tooling, has been constantly improving, but even so, Monogram models have remained synonym for high quality models.
