Someone else told me the same, but tell me this, do spinning fan blades, rotating wheels really matter, if you don't have a mould better than Aeroclassics, is their printing quality on a par with Big Bird (without the mistakes) or Gemini Jets? Question is do all of these things (rotating blades etc) make a better model or do they serve as a distraction from detail. Everyone has a different definition of detail and what makes a good model.
Like it or hate Aeroclassics is the Benz of the 1:400 world.
Now some of you will I am sure sing praises about others GJ vs PW vs DW and that's fine. Yeah they are all good in small doses.
But IMO AC has got a better product, without all the frilly bits, we know this. BBX has to step upto the plate and prove themselves and I am more than happy for them to do so. There is a niche for them (I think). I mean people buy Net Models don't they. People still buy Toochano on eBay.
In summary, is is not BBX who has raised the bar it was Aeroclassics/BB and they did it a while ago!! Question is BBX going to raise the bar or lower it?
