Yep
, paint and finishing is expensive and there is often photo etched after market details.
Many kits are near £100 nowadays and some over.
All relative given, say, the price of a tank of petrol
I can never understand why people think a fully functioning FS model in many liveries is expensive at £25

What a beautiful model. I like to think of them at their best, though, not quite as grimy. It's an amazing testament to his skill, but it looks like it's spent a couple of weeks on gritted roads. I remember how proud the crew was to get "their" bus back after a complete overhaul at the Aldenham works.
