Anyone build the Tee Vee buggy yet? How is the kit?

[GMP440]

Wanted to ask how the kit builds up.  What's the opinion of those that have built the kit?  Thanks.

Lots of mushy detail. The engine (for me, at least) was near impossible to build, and it turned out crooked anyways. Best bet would be to use a Corvair engine or sub in the Dub engine from the new Revell '68 Beetle.

It builds up nice (it's the Manx kit except the body), but they did something funky with the body proportions. There's just about no way you could get into the cramped cockpit--the steering wheel would be in the middle of your chest. If that doesn't bother you, it should be a fun build.

Again, can anybody put up photos? As they say, "a picture is worth a thousand words."

There have been at least two in the Under Glass section in the last few months.

Check out my green one in the Under Glass section, may have to go back a few pages. It's posted under the Berry Mini T dune buggy, as essentially, that's what this is a kit of.  Like mentioned above, almost impossible to build the engine, but I made it work. Lot's of rigging involved because everything sits crooked. Other than that, it's the only way you'll get this body.
