Re: LMM/SMS Audi R10

Hi Nic,

thanks for the quick kit review. Now interested modelers can see, what the kit-box contains.

Looking at the etched parts I am a little bit disappointed. At the Nürnberg Toy Fair a photo of the prototype showed etched parts for the brake, nice details, now they come in resin.

As there are no CF-decals in the box, you have to buy them as a separate decal sheet from SMS (or other brands), that rises the kit price from $135 – $140 again (somehow it seems that they learned from Tamiya: they sell the etched parts separately)

Looking at the prices of the LMM kits of the EasyLine, they are around $105 - $115. Those kits and the Audi are similar concering amount of parts, construction, etc. So what justifies the price-difference?
