The only problem there, is MCG details will add another 20 plus dollars to a new kit, that, IMO, should have the molded scripts done correctly. 

This is an excellent case for why domestic kit manufacturers should adopt metal transfers like those used by Tamiya, Aoshima, and Hasegawa for scripts and badges.

That would be a nice addition to any kit. I do believe there is a 57 Chevy kit, and a few others that do have some sort of PE detail in the box. But, a real simple solution, is to have the quality control department do their job, before giving the ok to mold the kit.

Also opens the door for more trim levels, when doing badges separately. IIRC Archer had or has a range of 3d decals for railroad or military modelers, IMHO an interesting path to look into.

They are aware of the issue and plan to correct it for future runs of the kit.  

Metal transfers is a cool idea; question is whether the market would accept the increased price (do not know the amount) for the added content.  I'm sure we would, be we are a fraction of the total consumer sales volume for a kitmaker....
