Hi John,
What kits do you make? I have some doubt as to whether the RTR would always be better than the kit loco.
I have had a discussion on another forum about this as to plastic v metal for locomotives and stock. There is something indefinable about the mass depicted in a metal model. I have put indentical models together, kit and RTR and - regardless of detail - the metal kit looks heavier and more workmanlike.
I might start a thread on this, one other thought came from a professional photographer. A plastic mould is almost perfect in every detail and can look artificial whereas a metal model has many minor imperfections, like the prototype. An thoughts?
