Respect for the Hobby

This also goes for any other publisher/designer. If you have questions about the offers you might see on the various sites, just ask, most of us will have a copy of the original, or know of the provenance of the kit. Quote:

Places like Aliexpress sell printed models in large part because they cater to Asian market that either have restricted access to publishers websites or where shipping from EU is prohibitively expensive.Modelers like us know about piracy and quality issues of those kits and stay well away from them.

Aliexpress do not cater to the Asian market, in fact, they don't even sell to anyone in mainland China, although most of their sellers are based there.
Aliexpress is a gateway for Chinese sellers to sell and export their products to western consumers. It started as a wholesale only type thing but now they'll sell to almost anyone (unless you live in China). While some of the products sold there are legitimate, a lot are not. This could be anything from pirated paper models (and even some plastic ones) right through to electronics and all kinds of other well known name brand, copyrighted products. |
