empinut Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Pooling together all my Manx parts, half built kits and gluebombs to finish off as many as possible. Some will be rolling chassis for others. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Hall Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Neat...looking forward to the reissue, never built this kit. What year did the original issue come out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc @ MPC Motorsports Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Nice! My Jr High Spanish teacher/tennis coach had an orange buggy much like your Manx. Brings back memories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
empinut Posted May 2, 2011 Author Share Posted May 2, 2011 Thanks for the nice comments! Upgraded brakes are because I ran out of original kit parts for these orphaned chassis units that were in my parts bins. Think the original issue was in 1968. Reissue in '69 or '70? Here is some Manx info: Manx Club link thanks, Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robertw Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 I'm also anxiously awaiting the re-issue of this kit. I still have the original kit sitting on my shelf painted in AMT Candy Blue. I built it shortly after the original came out. Its intact and still in pretty good shape but obviously not nearly as well done as I could do today. At one time I thought about taking it apart and rebuilding it but then decided that this is a survivor, one of the few surviving models from my teenage years and I need to keep it as a reminder. robw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
