I can guarantee (
) that I sold a good amount of my plastic stash, replaced when possible, with some MFH (and much other resin stuff from other great manufacturer), more than 20 hiros. And... yes I'M QUITE HAPPY
the thing about the subject: ok I agree with Alex, but it's only the first thing: than there's the passion: any MFH show certain care and passion: some more (last Alfas, the 312PB, some ex-Climax, the superb SWB) and some a little less since they're simply (@Zoomzoom: I got few MFH TR, the '58 and also the '61: they aren't the best Hiros: so would you call objective place side to side a good Fuji with a average or less Hiro?)
BTW: we're speaking of modeling, not of politics, environment or justice:
so?
we will take all the luxe of to be non-objective, anyone will have different ideas
All I know is that produce an artigianal kit with care like MFH cost a lot: 200 usd is a great price for what they offers: lot of versions,wide PE sets (well thought, not the shit we buy sometime as after market, with nothing more than the plastic details), special rims, a lot of kind materials like belts and stuff, fantastic turned parts.
Working as a designer I know how cost a mold for injected plastic, a printed plastic part: it cost simply nothing, if you think to sell just 20.000 boxes, so the 3-4K yen they cost at the shop isn't for sure cheap.
