WALTHERS NEW OFF LINE STRUCTURES

A short comment about the new Walther's Offline Structures.  For the past several years all we see, to a great extent, is off line structures coming form Walther's.  This company through its Cornerstone models has been for a long time the backbone of the hobby when it came to online structures.  Many of the great models they sold are no longer available and we see very few online structures coming.
