I think that Carousel is reasonably priced for what they offer, a model that's twice the size of 1:72 at twice the price. Would I like to see them cheaper? Sure, but I'm not at all concerned about it. I think the "E" model 109 that they produce is worthy of as much praise as their 190D models.
I talked to Mark at OMI and he said that they have dropped the MSRP for their Eagles International products to be more competitive at this price point. Franklin stuffs cheaper, but lets face it, by todays standards it's cr&p. I should know, I own just about every single model they made.
Carousel just needs to stop being stubborn about the issue and include a display stand.
