I apologize....especially to retunga.
I'm wasn't trying to turn your thread, or your project, into a discussion about copyrights, etc
I'm also not trying to point fingers at you and make you out to be any sort of criminal.
I do agree with you...its a shame to chop up a rare and possibly valuable "vintage" kit.
My only concern is the way a forum can spread a message to others.
If one person does something, with no negative consequence, then others will follow.
Pretty soon it will become common behaviour to buy printed kits, scan then and build only copies.
And how long before those kits get resold?
This may not be retunga's intention, but other's could follow suit assuming this is an accepted practice.
And, as stated earlier, lets not forget about those who attempt to change the rules to their own benefit.
