Even though brass models are very, very nice, well....... most of them.... I still prefer a plastic model. I think that the plastic holds paint better and it is also easy to fix if an item breaks off. I personally do not have alot of experience with soldering brass engines together, but it seems that if you are running a big boy and it has some mishap which causes a small detail part to bend and/or break off, the repair job would be huge! Not that i don't take good care in my models, but in a house like mine, there is always "that guy" or the "not me, i didn't do it" guy running around. Where, if the item was made out of a plastic shell, it would be 500 times easier to repair. AND nevermind scratches. i could only imagine trying to repair a deep scratch on a brass model. I wouldn't even know where to start. but again, on plastic, putty, sand, paint, DONE!
