Meh, I'm not a diecast fan anyway. If plastic can do the job, then I'm all for it. As for the paint... as long as it doesn't end up with an Armada paint job, I'm happy. For $19.99, I can buy some testors and do it myself
After plunking down $80 or more for some of the Yammies and being less than thrilled, I'm shy to do it again.
