harder to detail cuz of the smaller size and it's more time consuming to make the molds.

most of the resin 1/43 scale are in resin or white metal. It had alot of photo-etch parts (depend on brands) including the etching seatbelt, machine rims, and for the F1 cars...some of the suspension are movable.:eek: decal mostly are by cartograf or some europe factory. Most of them are limited in production especially the race cars.
If you want to complete your collection, 1/43 will be the best choice, but very expensive. Like ABC Branzia, Alezan...all prototype and concept car, most of them are OOP, if you see it, better grab before it's all gone...:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :D :smoker2:

If you are collecting, pre-made ones are 1/2 or 1/3 of the kit, and they aren't so bad.
Resin kits are more expensive to produce, and they don't sell as many. That's all.
