How different in quality Fukuya brass barrels to the analogue, say, Master models, apart from the 8 times price difference?

There is a big sale of Fukuya items on HLJ at the moment. It supposed to be an oustanding quality, but is it worth the money?

That is a good question. I cannot answer that becasue I have only used barrels from Lion Roar.

It would be nice to get a set from each and compare them for a particular ship.

Try look on the evil auction site. Sometimes you can get them for a decent price there.

Thanks. Unfortunately not many people on the forum use those barrels, obviously.
However, at those prices it is must be for some especially obsessed, extravagant and rich modeller.

I guess it would depend on the scale. 700 even 350 how much difference is there. I have no idea of the prices...but at 5x what it costs for say lionroar or mastermodels i would give a resounding "Hell No !!" High cost does not necesarily equate to better.
