    kpnuts got a reaction from Edwardkenway in Ford GT40 by kpnuts - FINISHED - Magnifier - 1/12 - PLASTIC   
    TBH I don't think its worth the difference in price (the meng kit is nearly 370 quid this was 68) and I see no real improvement on detail, the moulding in this kit is crisp and sharp, ok there is far too much chrome but a soak in bleach soon sorts that . 
    Personally I would buy this kit then spend the 290 quid I saved on other models.
     
    More work on this one.

    Hi all I started this a while ago (its actually a reboxed Trumpeter kit) what a kit, it is amazing there's a big price difference 300+ for Trumpeter (if you can find it) i paid 68 quid.
    Everyone says don't use the provided braided hoses as they fall apart when cut to size, just do what I did spray them with your missus hairspray and they are fine.
