James W Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 My niece found and bought this kit for me (78-3709-202) and at first I thought it was just a custom Vette. Then I saw that it looked like the Mako Shark. How accurate is this kit. Could a good replica be built from this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisPflug Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Should be a close reissue of the original MPC Mako Shark II Not sure what changes were made other than the wheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkman Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 The wheels and sidepipes are about the only changes. The rest is 100% fishy stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B67ville Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 "How accurate is this kit. Could a good replica be built from this?" James, as best that I can recall, yes you can, the differences that I can recall are: The wheels, (as already stated) the exhaust, (on the original issue there were no side pipes) and finally the grills on the hood between the hood edge and the power bulge are not in this issue. I've included a pic of my original Mako Shark II so that you can see the difference. Hope this helps. Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James W Posted January 26, 2010 Author Share Posted January 26, 2010 (edited) Thanks; Chris, Christian and Jerry. I may have to research and build this one. (My niece says I cant resell it) Maybe I'll make it look like a production version in street trim, 427 tri-power and rallye wheels, or a dirt tracker like my Lincoln Futura Edited January 26, 2010 by James W Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
