yea, released in 83-84, most AMT kits molds where made from the mid 60's early 70's. Tamiya also has the $$$$$$ to maintain and refurbish the molds, money that AMT does'nt have.

I would think good pckaging would take care of the beating problem.
How many kits does AMT make from a tool? How many kits does Tamiya make from a tool? Just curious. I am kind of funny that way.
You said 20 years in your previous post. The math tells me the Tamiya kit is 20 years +- a few months.
Maybe Tamiya has the money but who is at fault for the condition of the AMT tools? Could it be that we just get the same old shit in a different box every few years? No wonder no one want to pay more than $10.00 for a AMT kit.
You do realize that we are in a global economy and the whole world is not filled with AMT and Revell kits. We tend to keep most of the trash at home. Even Revell of Germany know enough to borrow tools from the Japenese manufacturers.
