deleted quote - pirate site link
I wouldn't be too enthusiastic about finding anything on that site - it looks like a major Pirate's Lair!  Those appear to be all commercial kits that have been scanned and uploaded for sharing, and with over 300 pages of files, that's a large crew!I tested it by downloading something in which I have absolutely no interest in building and, yup, it's all there - cover, ads, everything. Not nice!

Do you know what page number it's on? (Lots of great models on that site, BTW. I found a couple freely available ones I've never seen before...)

Hmmm. I don't think I saw that far. I was seeing ones I knew were freely available, and didn't realize that there were scanned models. If it's something not freely available, I'll keep off of it.

Never mind that one then. I'll just wait for a free version or buy the other one if I can find it on an English language site. I looked at it a little harder and I see what you mean.

At one time sites that lined up downloads of scanned commercial kits used to be labelled as pirate sites. Their urls were deleted.
Just hope this bit is the result of the ignorance of our teeming horde of new moderators rather than a change in morality by the forum. |

I imagine it was a mistake that it was posted, and the moderators haven't gotten here yet. I realized what was going on when I saw that the site is actually linking to pirate copies, rather than showing pictures. A lot of it is in German, and I was busy looking for a free model I thought was available. When I saw it was the model offered for sale elsewhere, I knew what was going on. I hate when designers get ripped off, so I don't stand for it, either.
