i think the cost of transporting the goods is relitivly small in the scheme of things and so i dont understand why you are attaching soo much significance to this. a huge slow moving cargo ship is just about the most effecient form of transport there is.
I dont think this will effect where they are made in the slightest.
Also i dont think for me at least the carbon footprint would make any difference to me as i would always catagorize my models as luxury goods.
It would effect how i bought my lamb chops for instance.
the only way i can see model production returning to the UK is if it was completly automated to the point where the labour costs were an insignificant factor.
