Message: I do agree that the selection of models features overdone models, but they are just starting.... ....they probably want to go with tried and true favorites and expand from there. Again, I am not a fan of resin and the prices it is commanding. $80 for a 1/43 with flimsy PE that will come loose in the future is too much money. If I had the money, I would have continued collecting White Metal. All that is in the past for me now. Thanks, guys.
