Default RE: turbine scale heli

Todd...you have to understand that building a scale helicopter to Sport Scale status Plus, getting the Mechanics in and prepped. then Painted takes a couple Hundred Hours ..... My Question is ...... What is your Time worth Per Hour? Not Picking a Fight or anything like that ... just trying to make people aware that it is better to build yourself but, if you plan on someone else building be prepaired to PAY the Price ..... Just checked on a Quart of PPG RED ..... $226 !! Without Catylist or reducers!! I won't paint for less than $500 for a Single Color on a LARGE Model .. the Price does go down for the Small helo's though ... Sport scale is cheaper yet ... When you have to match paint FINISH (Flat, matte or whatever) along with Rivet detail it runs into Time and Money! Scale helicopters or anything else for that matter is in the Detail work .. the more Detail, The More Money ...
