Is it just me or does Squadrons website
seem to be going the wrong direction?

I note..

- Only 22 items in their presell section (Used to be 40-60 and
where is the new MPM 1/48 HE-177 and what happened to the everpresent
AMTech XP-40q?)
- Substantially fewer "New Items" in the new item section
- Almost nothing at all coming up in Comsale

Am I missing something or are they scaling back
what they are putting up on the web?

I used to visit the site every day to see what they had in the new and
presell section, now with all the changes I rarely visit their site
more than once a week. I also use to buy a lot more as well.

Now one company I will give kudos too is Greatmodels
They always have something new just about every day and that is how
often I visit them now. They do have the MPM He-177 and a lot more
in their pre-sell section.

No I am not a paid or unpaid spokesman for Greatmodels, I would
just like to see Squadron either go back to their old site
or at least really ramp up the new one to the same speed.

I wish Hannants had a US location ;)

I agree. I rarely go to their site anymore and usually forget if I was
sent a flyer or not. Never got one last month. I shop around several
sites to see what is new before I go back to Squadon.
the new site is less than exciting. No Beamish either.....

bummer all the way around.....

BLACKLIST !!!

If Jerry Campbell is no longer running the place, who cares about his
blacklist.

Here we are, its April 2 and Squadron finally has MPM's He-177
in their presell list. Day late - dollar short, I already signed
up over at Great Models for one of their pre-sells and had them
do some special order stuff while I waited.

Much as I like Squadron thay have not substantially changed their
site from when I originally posted.

That's too bad.
