Rapido acknowledges the fantasy schemes they offer. They do it purely to amortize the cost of the tooling. Those who want "pretty" Erie cars may buy them. Those of use who want accurate Erie cars will avoid them. I have no problem with Rapido's business practice since they are up front with the information. My dealer can't keep Rapido cars in stock. Many in the hobby are still more interested in "pretty" than in accurate.
