johnlambert Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 My first MFH kit has arrived Can you tell what it is? It's beautiful but scary. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco F. Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Hey John! That's fantastic, even so I think my skills are not on a MFH level now...but I'm looking forward to follow your WIP and I'm quite sure you will make a beauty out of it Cheers Marco F 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in Lincs Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 I tried for an Airfix Beach Buggy on the bay. Just the shell, screens, and running gear. No chassis & a couple of other bits. I have an Airfix Beetle in a bag bought for a couple of quid so that was to be the donor. just like the real thing. But I got beaten as it went for just over 22 quid. Ah well, it was only going to be a nostalgia build anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Golf was released as a harlequin in the states anyway, even if no one bought them, so thats legit. I'll just have to improve my non existant masking skills. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just go round to the scrap yard, buy some random second-hand panels and bolt them on . Whatever colour they were , it couldn't look any more ridiculous than it does from the factory . Why anyone would want to drive round in a car which looks like it's been vandalised and repaired with second-hand panels they couldn't afford to paint is a complete mystery to me . 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one of those things. It's different to look at (why I thought I'd have a go at painting it) , but to own one is another matter. Outside of 'wacky' children's entertainers I can't see a market for it. The polo version in europe sold around 4,500, where the golf in the US only sold 264, and some of those had their panels swapped back so they were one solid colour. There is one guy who had four of the golfs, one of each combination (surprisingly it was not done at random). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far I have saved a nice bit of money on what I could have paid for over here but I will have to see if I get hit by any extra costs and then figure out if it was worth it. Well they arrived and only 20 days which isn't bad at all imo. I wasn't hit with any extra costs so worked out well, price wise. Would I do it again? Yes, I'd still rather give local shops my business but if there is a hard-to-get kit then I'd have no problem using our Japanese friends. Hopefully they won't persuade me to take up smoking again.😀 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
