When in doubt, don't.

How come I can't say it as simply as Mike?
Just to clarify for those who may be confused...
you can repaint, modify, kitbash,
do anything you want to a model
for your own use.
You don't have to ask any permission.
And then you can come here and share the build with us.
You just can't reshare or sell the model in any way, any form, any where.
This applies to any model, digital or printed, free or for-sale, up-to-date or out-of-date*.
*yes, there are allowances for publications that are known to be out of copyright.
And if you download a model and your brother sees it on your computer
and says "I want a copy"...you
can give him one.
Its okay to share a legitimate downloaded model with your wife (lol), your son,
your brother,
your best buddy in modeling that you see every week.
Although, I'm sure your best buddy would appreciate directions to the site where you got the model
so he can look around too!
Just don't get on the public forum and offer to share with any newly arrived member.
Thats a no-no.
