Remember JAG Collective Model kits? Probably the "Gold Standard" of resin waterline warship models and aircraft of all time. Alan Smith
said once "If we charged a price that reflected all the time involved in producing our accurate, quality model kits, nobody would be able to afford them." JAG kits included a complete p/e fret for each kit and their resin castings are near perfect. There are a few JAG kits in my collection.
I did my best to keep my models affordable, but I will not give on price for sort of the same reason.
