Its not what it is made of, but what it is made to resemble, that is most important to me. Brass models generally rate better for durability, but are also very high in cost, and in the case of older ones, do not run so well out of the box. Yes you can upgrade the guts with newer parts, but that only drives up the costs even further. Plastic models are cheaper, and are getting much better in running and detail quality. But its rare that you'll see some one-road, low in number prototype done in plastic. The demand is to low. Alvie.
