[Closed] Neo 1932 Packard 902 coupe is now available at A-Ex.

Thanks, Ken. I just looked at it. But I'm starting to question these new resin/plastic models. While they are increasingly complex, they seem to be more and more fragile. I like to take my models off the factory bases and display them. That's hard when some have very little factory glue and/or careless construction of small and light parts.

Or maybe I just miss the heft of white metal.

oops.

I also like to take my models off the base and display them...

in my showcases, but I think most resin models are meant to be displayed in their well-built and sometimes large acrylic cases, because of just that fragility.

I think that's why most even expensive white metal models come/came in more or less simple cardbord boxes - they were meant to be unpacked and displayed in a showcase.

And that's why I have about 300 white metal / die-cast models and only 10 or so resin models. 😉

I still want details...

..fragility is a small compromise. People complain about poor details, people complain about fragility that comes with more, smaller details...people just complain.

It's easier to change one's viewing habits than to tolerate a lack of detail. What's the point of collecting something that lacks accuracy?

I just paid $86.95 including shipping.....

....it zooms past obnoxious and into obscene when the price differential is over $50 for the same image.

David H. I second your motion.

Robert, I noticed the seller listing at $86.95 just after I posted my initial comment. I ordered also at $86.95 with free shipping . I agree with you completely,it is obscene when another seller lists at $123.95 plus shipping and a large reputable seller at that.

Are they really "Reputable", then?

Good point.
