Yes, I'd say they are - and they would certainly become more popular among modellers, IMO, if good kits were available. As an example, I was never interested in a Honda S800, but when I saw the Tamiya kits and built two of 'em, I really grew to like the 1/1 car and have done some reading up on the history.
I'd bet that a lot of people on this forum don't post WIP threads. From my short time on this forum, the talented modellers like to post WIP threads, but I -know- there are guys out there that are at a more novice level that are building kits and not posting any WIP threads --- why post your average / below-average WIP pics? Everyone likes to see the AWESOME models that guys are building.
This is just a debate - no one's going to suddenly start manufacturing '70's-'90's era high-quality Euro kits as a result of seeing this thread, of course --- but my feeling is that the demand would be there if the kits were offered. My humble 2 cents.
