European prototypes tend to be physically smaller than their US cousins, so the different scales used tend to make eveything look approximately the same.

$1,500 is too much money.
Do they have to make new tooling or something? It's ridicules.
Yes, MTH had to make new tooling for the European models. Any new model requires new tooling.
