I love to decal and paint bodies. I love the crisp detail of PE.The resin dream. I dont like the price of resin but id rather pay more to buy a kit i "must have" on my shelf instead of buying a $30 kit that collects dust because Tamiya thinks i "must have" it on my shelf. So maybe you understand the resin market a little more now. Im not a snob, nor do i think im better cus my model cost more. I simple enjoy the subject matter of resin kits and the fact that i may actually finish it because my ride hieght isnt that of a 4X4 on a GT car.

True, true. What I really like about painting and decaling a body: No wires and whatsoever. I always start new projects saying to myself: "Now Robert, you won´t wire the engine or detail paint it!" Then I start browsing the forum and find this amazing detailing of the project, I´m about to do. Some say, I´m just a weak person!!
But then again, I´d take that Revell R10, keep everything that won´t be seen in black and just mess with painting and decaling!
