Great job! Looks very nice.

Great looking model Cliff. I would much rather see a model of something like this, than a modern car. It looks like it has a personality.

Spanjaard
model looks quite good, but I would suggest to use more light for the pictures....😉

Marco Gallmann
Very nice build Cliff. I like these matallic blue color.

Cliff Jones
Thanks, all! I was still experimenting with my camera at that point. The colour is a Gunze Acrylic dark blue, with a brushed coat of Future on top.

Mike Kryza
👍 Very well done!

Greg McKurth
Very nice build 👍 I have this kit in the stash to get built up soon 😎

Bob Hall

Bob Hall
Wild paint job, cool 🆒!

Robert Podkoński
Four hours?! Unbelievable... Fantastic team-work!

Is that maybe the old Humbrol metallic gray paint on the blue truck? I vaguely remember having such a Humbrol paint bucket.

Btw, I learned a trick off youtube. Vinyl tyres look better if you clean them with a swab dipped in alcohol, that removes the shine.

Bozzer
That's actually quite an achievement! I have to admit, it would've looked better with a colour, but I appreciate that time wouldn't allow. Maybe consider clear coating it, after masking up the clear parts? That would help protect the plastic, with age, and keep the prescious memories alive, that little bit longer?
Glad you enjoyed your time with your son. Hope he settles in Houston and continues with the hobby 🙂

Very unusual
But sure fast build

Kenneth Gifford
It was a total of 8 hours. So 16 total man hours between the two of us. I'm very happy with it, he's moved on to Houston and I proudly display it on my case.

Sweet Duo ! Tell him Welcome to Texas, 🤘😎🤘

Mean looking Demon 😈 ! 😎 🫘's

I don't think that Magic Factory is aiming to be a budget brand. More basic kits like those from Takom's Blitz line are still incredibly reasonably priced for example.

I'll keep an eye on the Chinese market and let you guys know the local reference price as soon as it is available. Than you can think about if the importers and hobby stores in your countries are ripping you off or not. 😉

Eric Silbaugh
Ebay has some direct from China sellers. Can get for next to store price. That's where I'll get mine from.

Mina Ro
Ya its sad we have to buy elsewhere due to price but it is a choice I utilize to get a better price for sure. Just make sure its a seller in China who packs models correctly and ships promptly or your going to wait over a month and get a broken kit. Always check feedback first.

Eric Silbaugh
I do. I have a good three that I can trust and have had great experience with and no issues

Trez Mackenzie
I stopped buying from China - kits always broken and forever to arrive and for all that they make about a 1000% profit.

Eric Silbaugh
None of mine have been broken.

Trez Mackenzie
But you have only bought one.

Eric Silbaugh
Multiple from the same seller. So more than one.

Trez Mackenzie
Sure, multiple kits in one sale

Eric Silbaugh
Nope. Multiple transactions.

Trez Mackenzie
Yep. Multiple transactions with just one kit. Difficult to break paints

Eric Silbaugh
No multiple different kits. Do you just hate Chinese or something? Or?
