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.

Looks great, those wheel and paint are beautiful Mike!

Thank you Carl. Issues aside, it does look pretty good in the stratigically placed angles for the pics?

Thanks Scott.  Since you must have built this kit you sure know from experience. So glad it's done.

 Realized I didn't take a picture with the top on.

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!

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!

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 !

I don't think I actually did a WIP Patrick.   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.

Hey Bruce, thanks a lot.  Perfection it's not but and I do appreciate the nice comment.

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.

Thanks Mike. Yes the rear deck lid was a problem with mine previously. I just cut off the hinges and did the same as you. I did see a pick up version on one of the sites recently so may leave mine off altogether!
