Alloy forms used to be entirely cast metal kits available only unassembled with a lot of flash to be cleaned up before building. The prices used to be under $10.00 each. $30.00 for a tractor only and almost $15.00 for the semi trailer to go with it would be a reasonable price to pay for a painted r-t-r model or even an assembled model that needed paint, but even allowing for inflation, those prices for one of their traditional kits with flash would be exhorbitant.
