vamach1 Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 A fantastic build. ? With the MENG kit expected to be 3-4 times ? as much this kit is looking pretty good for the money with Magnifer selling for less than $100. I bought the extra resin spare tire and some 3D parts for the engine and it’s nice to see this kit can be built into a beautiful model.

Thanks for the kind words everyone! On 11/27/2020 at 11:46 AM, tmathew1us said: That came out great!! I also have this kit in the stash, and its my first 1/12th as well. This seems like the kind of kit that one could get bogged down in for a considerable amount of time, depending on how detailed one wants to get. Congrats on finishing it, came out great!! Thanks! I initially put off starting this one because I knew it was going to take a lot longer than the typical week I put into the 1/24 scale. My style is to do as much as possible as quick as I can, so 5+ hour stints for multiple days in a row lol. I kinda forced my self to take this one slow and it made it a lot more enjoyable and relaxed. I only did 1-3 hours maybe 3 to 4 times a week and it helped keep me from getting burned out. It did take roughly 2 months from unboxing to finished pictures though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lack of a distributor is noticeable and is one complaint builders have with this kit. I have the same problem with this kit. I have searched the internet high and low for a 1/12 distributor but to no avail. The wires are easy, can get them anywhere but the closest I can find to a cap is 1/16. Anyone have any ideas where I may get one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al NJ Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 (edited) Looks great. I know this thread is a couple months old but if I may ask, where did you get the spare tire from? Of the 3 or 4 places I found, a couple looked shaky and Bestbalsakits doesn’t look like they will ship to the US unless I spend about 350 euros. Thanks, Al Edited March 6, 2021 by Al NJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucky 130 Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 You should be pleased. It turned out fantastic. As for Ray's turning out half as good, I can guarantee that, just let me build yours:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
