true, this has become an extra cost, & it aint small. any part with a name brand (body, tires, carbs-holleys, etc) pretty much has to be licensed now-a-days...one kit of a camaro can have a gm license for the body, goodyear license for the tires, another for say moroso valve covers, that camaro kit is getting expensive now...or, what the model company's do now is this, which is pretty boring... goodyear is from early '90's kit, no name goodyears are from recent Revell snowplow truck. same tire, just more plain now....
you would think they would'nt mind representations of their stuff on models, it most certainly does'nt cut into their 1:1 sales at all, hell they used to hand them out at the dealership
