On the other hand, do you think it's necessary split 'ESCI' and 'ESCI/ERTL'? It's like Italaerei and Italeri.
And the same for 'Heller' and 'Heller/Humbrol'

@Mike.
The name 'Heller/Humbrol' reflected a change in overall ownership, but soon later (3-5 years) come back to 'Heller' alone. I think it's not interesting for us to open a 'Heller/Humbrol' company.
But 'Humbrol' alone released kits from other companies too, so it should have its own place.
I agree about the second comment.
@Gunther.
The question it isn't about the inclusion or not, but 'How to classify' them. We must include all we could (if space available)

Let's be pragmatic, there is no 'perfect' solution.
Italeri and Italaerei go together very well, because they share the same catalogue numbers. Take Revell-Italeri kits: If the catalogue number is "H-xxx" it obviously fits into the Revell line, if it is something else it goes under the Italeri label. Same for Minicraft-Hasegawa or Minicraft vs Academy-Minicraft. Let's just judge by how the few kits in question fit into 'our' product ID system here.
