The answer is the bad casting of metal parts. Especially, because it is almost impossible to clean the engine or gearbox without mess the details. So, they choose resin for more smooth surfaces and easier to prepare them for painting.

The other reason is the weight. Really, the mfh kits are very heavy so any diet is very welcome.

Happy, that MFH improves the way they makes models.
