tangerine_sedge Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 I'll be interested to see how it compares to the Fujimi ones (and the revell pricing for their Fujimi repop later this year). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vppelt68 Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 I dislike the term "7,O L" engine - that sounds just like a small water bucket - so we'd better call it the legendary 427 (cubic inch) that it is. I saw the movie sitting in the back row of course, and by God it felt like that V-8 would've roared right behind my back! Wonderful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmatthewbacon Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Depending how much it is, if all you want is an engine then it might be better to buy one of scaleproduction’s exquisite 3D printed ones... https://www.scaleproduction.de/product_info.php?info=p2467_engine-kits---1----12.html best, M.

Yes, I know there are good engine kits for the Fujimi. It was more a light hearted way of saying that I'm disappointed with several exterior aspects that Meng show here, and that are also present on their 1/12 kit. It will no doubt build well though.

HobbyEasy has the price of 335HKD, for me that is 53CDN, 31GBP or 43USD and 36EUR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabrejet Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Yet again, they have boxed a Ford Mk.II as a "GT40". It does make one wonder what else is incorrect... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, come on... the Fujimi kits are badged GT40, as is the Haynes Manual I have and the Octane article I’m using as build reference. I have a Union kit described as a Ford GT MkIV, but I think it’s safe to say most people would know what you’re selling if you call it a GT40, not so much a “Ford Mk.2” For some reason, people do seem to want to take a pop at Meng for these kits, and are finding increasingly sketchy ways to do it... beat, M. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
