As a modeler myself for a good part of my life with my "product" ending up in the hands of several top drivers and one very famous team I understand how easy these are to produce given a source for the decals or the willingness to draw your own. That doesn't change the fact that there is obviously a market for these models.


You almost seem a little angry in your reply??

I was not looking down on his work or anything like that, I only point out my personal meanings about them. I can understand people willing to spend top $$ on having something others don't, but I when people pay $400+ for unoriginal releases I cannot understand it any more nowadays.
I used to buy models like these myself a few years back and had some customing skills before I made my own. When I understood how relatively easy they are to make, I stopped buying them.
Some people here will definitely appreciate seeing those models as I know for a fact many uses these forums as a source for finding rare models and also customs from time to time.
And yes, I agree there will always be a marked for special things like these models as long they are very well made and interesting for display.
