aurfalien Posted September 18, 2015 Posted September 18, 2015 Hi, I havn't seen any builds here of this bad boy. Wondering if any one has thoughts on it, seems like a killer subject to build. Some pics of the built kit for referance;
Sport Suburban Posted September 18, 2015 Posted September 18, 2015 (edited) I just bought one of these a few months ago. I must say it is an impressive kit and if you can afford it then it is worth it. I have wanted the kit for some time but it was really expensive at close to $400 at the time it came out. I just paid $245.00 buying it directly with shipping because the Japanese yen is so low right now. It took less than a week to arrive. I have not built it yet.The only other offering was from Mini Exotics and it has not been available for some time. They show up on ebay from time to time. I had one of those kits and it is not as nice as the MFH kit. It also is not complete and requires a donor Monogram 427 Cobra and no decals. Edited September 18, 2015 by Sport Suburban
aurfalien Posted September 18, 2015 Author Posted September 18, 2015 Great price, which site did you use to buy the kit direct?
Sport Suburban Posted September 19, 2015 Posted September 19, 2015 I bought it directly from MFH. I tried to order off the web sight but ran into a problem. So I sent an email. They did respond and sent me a Paypal invoice that I paid. Paypal will do the currency conversion.
afx Posted September 19, 2015 Posted September 19, 2015 The MFH Daytona pictured here looks strange to me, particularly the rear fender/greenhouse area and the rear end. Here are some references. Gerald, the car in question is the 427 powered Super Coupe. I was supposed to be the evolution of the small block (289) Daytona Coupe but was never raced. Here is a link to a brief history on the car.
GerN Posted September 19, 2015 Posted September 19, 2015 Yeah, AFX, I immediately checked after I posted and then deleted my post. Its been a really long day . . .
aurfalien Posted September 19, 2015 Author Posted September 19, 2015 (edited) It would make a fine pairing with HRMs Cobra Daytona Coupe.Based on the literature, had Ford not been focused on killing Ferraris, I bet we would have seen this car actaully racng back then. It had better aero dynamics and a more powerful engine then the Daytona Coupe. Edited September 19, 2015 by aurfalien
