Re: Are the TWH Models Museum Quality?

I have just purchased and recieved the TWH Grove 3055 Mobile Crane...it is exceptionally detailed and functional in every area possible for a 1/50 model right down to the Mercedes logos on each cylinder cover on the
engine..all six of them. But with all the detail they ae not as good as those by Conrad and NZG..maybe it's me.

As for the term "Museum Quality" ..that is a term we are going to be seeing a lot of in the foreseeable future and mainly from manufacturers who want the edge on their respective competitors. Maybe we should be asking TWH which museums their models are in besides their own.

Code 3 did it with the term "Collectible" ..it makes them sound like a piece that is going into a collection and will appreciate in value as it is a "Collectible" piece...well they are to us but only if we decide we want to collect that specific piece.

We decide what is Museum Quality by buying the models we want for our own museums...we also decide what is collectible to us and no-one else.

Now that the Striker is available............

why didn't Boley make all those versions for a much more reasonable price? The mold must be still there.
