We'd love to add a 40s kit if we can get enough interest from that demographic. Feel free to fill out the IC form so we can quantify the interest for a 40s kit. Thank you very much for your support!

Maybe consider adding F13 to base?

We'll definitely be looking at some kitting changes with the requests we are seeing with modifier legends and F13 will have to sneak in those changes as well.

We'll definitely get in some other renders so people can get a feel for other colors it might work with. Go ahead and fill that IC form to let us know your preference of mod legends so we can see what people are feeling. Thanks for the support!

I agree. I'm all for text only too, but the I would not be inclined to use the novelties. Icon novelties with text mods feels awkward to me - at least for this set. Other than that it looks great!

I'm going to address this now so this doesn't tumble like a snowball going down a hill. I reached out to Owl in order to make sure that he did not feel as though this was too similar to Rainy Day. While they do look similar, I would advise for you to take a look at them side by side. If you still feel it's too similar, that's 100% fine with me. I do want to thank everyone for the support, though.

I don't really think this looks anything like Rainy Day. The gray alphas are way darker than the gray I used, the mods are a completely different color altogether, and the only resemblance of similarity in the light cyan is an illusion in the context with the rest of the colors. Side by side, the 5513 CP is WAY darker than 9481 C. I also used the accent color on mod text in Rainy Day which gives it a much different contrast than GMK pacific. While the initial reaction to the set is similarly somber, due to the use of blue hues in each of the colors, I don't think it's necessary to warrant changing the colors or changing the manufacturer. The theme gives enough context for the colors to stand on its own and after viewing it enough times, I think it would be difficult to mistake the two.

I don't think there is reason for the designer to worry about these "similarities". They have already reached out to me and I was more than pleased with how their set turned out. And I think that the colors by themselves are different enough that this set isn't "competing" with Rainy Day. The added context of the theme further helps that case.

I agree, I don't see how this looks like Rainy Day. The colors are similar I guess but Pacific's colors are way sharper and saturated, almost rigid imo. The mods are quite different in general. Rainy Day has that washed-out muted look that I don't see in this set.

I don't like the colors personally, but I think you did an OK job with kitting (I prefer my extra B in base kit, but as long as it's in a kit I don't mind too much)

This looks really dope, those novelties are wicked! love it! Same with the deskmats. My only suggestion would be just removing the numpad on the base kit.

It's makes the Base Kit Cheaper. And given how popular 65% and 75% is, a lot just don't need another numpad please consider this.

This is an ask that I've seen quite a bit. The problem with kitting like that is it really screws over everyone else, and even moreso with a set that's not that popular. You end up paying way more for simple compatibility for anything else. Unfortunately, this will be something that we will not be doing. We hope you understand.

Unfortunately, due to GMK's pricing model, alt alphas kits are extremely expensive. This really makes it hard to hit MOQ and isn't such a great deal for anyone that does buy it. I hope you understand.

Since you are basing this kit off of the pacific theater of WWII, I seriously think you need to do more research on the planes that were used during that time. I feel like a Corsair (not the dreadful company) would be the perfect representation for this set

I'm assuming it's a P-40 Warhawk in the novelties and such, which was also pretty iconic as something easily recognizable as a WWII fighter.
But yeah, the Corsair was probably the most formidable and prolific fighter in the war, although I think the Hellcat had the most enemy kills of any allied naval aircraft.

Since you are basing this kit off of the pacific theater of WWII, I seriously think you need to do more research on the planes that were used during that time. I feel like a Corsair (not the dreadful company) would be the perfect representation for this set

I'm assuming it's a P-40 Warhawk in the novelties and such, which was also pretty iconic as something easily recognizable as a WWII fighter.
But yeah, the Corsair was probably the most formidable and prolific fighter in the war, although I think the Hellcat had the most enemy kills of any allied naval aircraft.
The shark teeth are meant to represent the P-40 because the Flying Tigers were technically in the Pacific Theatre. We do plan on changing up one of the novelties to help represent the reverse gullwing of the F4U Corsair. We do thank you guys for your input and your interest.

We'll get in a wider variety of colors into the next round of renders that will incorporate all of the changes that we're making.

P-40s were strictly land-based though and mostly used in the earlier part of the war (and were best known for their use in China). There's a stronger case for including carrier-based fighters like the F4F Wildcat or F6F Hellcat, which have a recognizable "fat" profile, and were also much more widely used than the F4U Corsair. The carrier-based fighters also actually wore the blue color scheme of the set, while P-40s, being land-based, were mostly painted brown and green.

Definitely appreciate the feedback. You are correct in that the P-40s did not dominate the Pacific theatre and that the role that they did play were over in China. We still included the sharktooth novelties to pay homage to the Flying Tigers since they did represent the Americans in the earlier stages.
We are choosing to incorporate the inverse-gullwings in one of our novelties because even though the Corsair did not serve as a carrier based aircraft until late-1943, it was still quite the iconic aircraft just as the P-51 is seen as a more iconic aircraft than the P-47 even though less were made.
While we are not tying to incorporate exact models of aircraft on the novelties, we are trying to present some iconic designs that were used on those aircraft.
I hope this makes sense and I definitely love that we're getting some more advanced feedback like this.

If you want to go all stars, you'd have to with two novelty kits to fill up that macro collumn.

Unfortunately, at this point in time, there just aren't enough boards that support/require a 3U backspace to throw that in to the spacebars kit.

The alpha color arrows in base kit are intentional, right? Normally if we have 2 sets of arrow keys, on in mod color and the other in accent color imo.

I've seen this enough on both here and the IC that we'll go ahead and quote the new base with and without those keys before we make that decision. There seems to be quite a bit of interest in the interest form but we'll have to weigh the options with those quotes.

Hi, I have some recommendations for this set:
_ 1 set of arrow keys are better in accent color rather than alpha.
_ Adding 1 R3 1u "\|" key to base kit so you can support both basic ISO et UK ISO.
_ Replacing 2 mod color spacebars in the space kit with accent color.
