                        I'm new to this board and might have overlooked it, but I haven't seen a forum where interested modelers could post info about kits, parts, services, etc. I think such a forum might be helpful; from my own point of view, I've been looking for a 1/48 Mirage F-1 for a loooong time. Anyone have one they would sell? Gary.

                        Hey Gary,
                        That's been discussed on the feedback forum and they decided against it due to concerns of commercial advertising becoming on problem on it. There is nothing wrong with posting that you are looking for a kit, detail set, etc. and dealing with another member from what I could gather though. Take a look at the Feedback about FSM forum and look for some of the posts. They aren't trying to discourage us from helping each other out or anything, just advertising.

                        And welcome to the board!

                        Hello Gary,

                        What Eric said is correct (thanks Eric). While you may not see a dedicated forum for trading and selling in the near future, we've been allowing posts asking for help in locating a kit, accessories, etc. So far there hasn't been any problems with this.

                        Here are a couple of the previous threads:

                        How about a buy/sell/trade forum for non-vendors?
