let's be honest, i buy for more then 30 years tamiya stuff, with the internet the prices of tamiya kits didn(t go up at all , my first KTPorsche costed 600 euro with dmd 1 controler, now a FOKTcosted 500 euro here ... it could n't last longer with the worldwide crisis going on ... its not that i not find it a pitty ... it was affortable last years ... i bought my FO sherman 13 years ago for 650 euro now you can have him for less then 400 euro by axel in germany

i don't approve raises but i understand them too compared with foodprices modelling hasn't raised so much and thats good

if i compared a bread 20 years ago costen 0.50 euro then now you have to pay 2 euro at least so let's thank god our hobby is still affortable , if the tamiya kits raises four time the price like the bread that would be a disaster for us
