Yes Sir that's what i'm saying Pete. If the manufactures prices me right out of the hobby i'll have to drop out of the hobby because I don't think I could do that level of building that you and others can accomplish :surprised:

Thanks again Tony,I hope you can stay around as you can see I buy the cheap end of th market Emhar (which some people have put in the bin)and try/hope to upgrade/improve them by a lot of scratch building I also would like to reach the levels they do, I have been told on many occasions it not about the finish but about the fun, that how I stay in hobby to be honest.
