Have been reading this thread with great interest,by the way sorry Mike I don't post very often either.[img][/img]</p>

It seems to me modellers can make their own minds up whether they spend £50 on a fod screen or use a tea strainer from the pound shop,but they should not moan about others who want to use the expensive ''tasty'' equipment on their models.</p>
Car owners spend hundreds on their alloy wheels,doesn't make the car go faster or any better,but it sure makes it look well .</p>

I personally have the experience that if you spend extra on the real good quality item it repays you time and time again,all my jets have certainly the best servos , battery Backers,retracts, that I can afford ,a lot more money admittedly,but they give me peace of mind as well as looking the part.</p>

A modeller Saving a few hundred pounds on a jet or any other model does not bother me as long as the installation is well done and looks safe.</p>

As for the guys who run the specialist model shops for Jet Jockies,thumbs up to them!!
Bloody well said - sums up this debate nicely, unlike the individual calling himself 'bigplumbs' that just seems to want to antagonise others.
We buy what we like and hopefully therefore like what we buy.
