Hi there,
Just a quick question, the boxes of the modelkits are allready without a plastic wrapping, is there maybe a chance to remove the bags the sprues come in?
I know,weird question but i thought maybe there is a way.
Regards
Preda

Preda, this is a good question. We have a long debate with the factory on this particular issue for some time. While we are very concerned about environmental issues, the plastic bag is an unavoidable by-product during the production process.
Each plastic bag is used to protect the sprue from mangling with other sprues during transport from manufacturing to packaging; and to catch any loosen parts that might came off the sprue. The bag also provide a cushioning function between sprues to ease packing and shipping from warehouse to distributors worldwide.
This is why we cannot remove the bags. For myself, I usually will reuse them as much as possible; wrapping painted models for transport and storing, etc.
