Then you can imagine that a AK 680 from YCC would be in diecast, of course, but not much cheaper... Just keep in mind that the AK 680 is more complex to build than an AMK 1000...

Not to be taken from this excellent post, remember dan i bought one of these models from you the gottwald just up on 1500 euro fantastic idea and fair play to you for building these models but talkink about a major let down when i opened the box it was in a hundred pices which took me 2 days to put back toghter the paint job was terrible i could go on and to think the ycc is cheaper and in diecast with 10 times the detail, the amk that is so i still think ycc could build this model cheaper than the out the window prices you are asking just look at the sarens ltm 1800 with all attachments still way less , and also i know for a fact another guy had the same problems only worse so get real. this is only my view  regards gus

I would have replaced all damaged parts - as I also did with the other guy ... It can happen that some parts are being damaged by shipping, this happens also to other producers... But keep in mind, that I'm not building models in China, where they get an income you would not stand up in the morning... To compare hand made models in series of about 10 or 20 units with a serial production where they need to produce 1000 units to cover the mold costs shows me how less intuition you have about building models from a blank paper. This is my view...
