Re: We all need prepainted figures

p.s.

the pre-painted Preiser figures are not cheap!

Yes this is a big item I gripe about often... The crap little slugs o plastic w/ come w/ the Corgi, Dragon, Witty etc models.
I am a model builder as well as die cast/plastic "pre-built" collector. The quality of even the best pre made/painted figure subjects seem very weak to me. Look @ the other thread on 1/72 German figs... I'll wait... THAT is a good looking figure!!! That crud in Corgi, Dragon Armor, Witty, is ridiculous! Just leave it out and let me do my own! I am even now removing the little bit o rubber glued into the Witty Red-JASDF 50th F-15. Hasagawa makes a fine set of seated pilots w/ are easy to paint and MUCH more accurate.
My figure painting ability is where i am spending a bit o time lately trying to improve...
