unclescott58 Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 I know too from experience, this kit can be a bit of a pain to build. But, you sure did a good job building yours. Very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Issues aside, it does look pretty good in the stratigically placed angles for the pics😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatW Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 We've all had the same experience with this awful kit, although I have another on the shelf, only because I've wanted a real one since I don't know when! But you have made a great job of it, well done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatW Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 Hi Mike, I've thought about this kit as it's on the shelf. It's washed and ready to build, can you tell me what page in the WIP Section it's on please, just to remind me of the drawbacks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brudda Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 Super great job on this kit. It’s the best 914-6 model I have ever seen. Looks real and you modeled this kit. ( worked your rear end off). Great job ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This kit is definatly challenging, a lot of fit issues especially with the whole rear assembly. I finally gave up trying to get the rear bonnet to fit right and just glued it in place. Can't see the engine anyway. If you have any questions feel free to PM me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace-Garageguy Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 Looks great, especially considering all the problems the kit was born with. Sure would be nice if somebody would tool an accurate 914 that actually looks like a 914, as the body lines and proportions on that kit are awful. But somehow, I don't foresee that happening.

I did see a pick up version on one of the sites recently so may leave mine off altogether! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
