This thread & the one at the RPF are to ascertain as much fact & fiction as possible in regards to the 'authenticity' & 'accuracy' of the Maxi Brut Fuselage. It is in everyones best interests that the facts are uncovered to dispell all or much of what you have stated as 'fallacies' & 'misperceptions' or 'conception'. Paul is doing what he can to be as truthful & sharing as anyone could be in regards to all he knows, finds & shares. Just be respectful of these facts when writing as we are all not as smart & knowlegable as yourself & others. You unwittingly put yourself in the category of those you have obvious disdain for by being 'facesiously spoken'. Please.
Sorry,Jase. You're reading a little too much into what I said. I'm only trying to show with ernest,that you can't believe everything you read on most forums,and that I'm only reinforcing the fact that there are a lot of misconceptions from misinformed people. DON'T BELIEVE IT! unless they can show you with physical documentation that this wasn't made on the same equipment - don't suggest,or listen to anyone who disputes the word of a well known manufacturer,as to the authenticity,or honesty of that companys' claims otherwise!
Most of this is coming from people that are ignorant of the facts,or are jealous of them. I'm sick of all the nit picking about an old model rocket kit - "was it recast from an original? Was it not? Was it scratch made?" Who cares? It doesn't have all the parts,or scribe lines,so it'll never be 100% accurate to please the masses of uber-perfectionist modeling nerds!
At this time all we can do is wonder what actually happened until someone comes along with some kind of documentation to back up their claims. I wouldn't hold my breath waiting. Otherwise,we can all speculate until hell freezes over,but it doesn't mean that we'll ever get the answers we're searching for. Trust me - no one on any of these forums wishes to know more than me! I'd love to have the Maxi-Brute model myself,as this is one of the single most important Star Wars models ever made! This is a great piece of seventies nostalgia,and the closest lineage to having an actual ILM X-wing model ever available to the public.
