diecast is shit.
Horrible material that doesn't hold paint unless it's gloppy as fuck and even then it can and does chip off.
So it looks very dull, as in the paint is always overly thick looking and doesn't carry fine details. Which is why various companies use plastic on parts that are supposed to have fine details.
The only reason companies use diecast at all, is not only because it's cheaper to do than plastic, but because most consumers equate expensive with heavy. Thus, a lot of suckers will pay a premium for heavy shit.
