A tool costs between 5-8k (usd) and can contain multiple components (think of a tool as a sprue of parts) but over the lifetime of a model a smart manufacturer can make it work.
-
If you assume (broadly correctly) 30 each for shop and manufacturer you can half that number again. You can rapidly see how the cost becomes ‘negligible’ in real terms. If for the sake of a pound you can add ‘invisible’ detail then that’s a pound well spent :)
-
As an example we could replace all the lovely turned metal sprung buffers with fixed plastic mouldings and save about 75p a model. Negligible and that’s on the high end of detailing costs :) Ultimately it’s about what the market demands and will buy. If highly detailed wasn’t selling no one would make it.
-
Research and CAD usually is between 7-10% of the project cost with tooling around 20-30% of an initial 2-3 years output. so production, assembly and shipping would make up the other 60% or so.

DHL Charge an admin fee of €3.50, which we cover with free post to the EU. Hope that helps±

If you selected UK and a UK delivery address, VAT would be charged.
-
accurascale.com only quotes inc VAT prices inside the UK (and shows inc. VAT appended to all prices quoted to be clear) Outside the UK, you pay the ex VAT price, in Euro, Dollars, etc, then typically will pay local VAT at point of import. (the 16.83 you paid)

Its 16 of us and a dedicated 8 person warehouse and fulfilment team - so once stuff is here, you'll get it fast :) Mk2 updates (as well as looooots of other stuff) have been landing through the IE and UK bank holidays and there will be much news in the coming days and weeks. -

As I said we're shipping the next 6 SKUs since yesterday, which we always do in chronological order, including our retail partners. Hope that helps! -

Thanks for your patience, 37 shipments started yesterday, as we had siphons and chaldrons land just before them, which added a little to the queue. They are on the way, and orders will ship in chronological order of payment as always. -

We have 37423 in the first run with the original bodyside windows in place, albeit with WIPAC light clusters, and 37422 is coming in the second run in basically the same condition as 37402/9/19/25 but with the original bodyside window configuration. -
