Doggy Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Hi all. I'm looking for some recommendations for the mkiv. It's for my boys birthday and we've previously bought the emhar version which is very poor quality. I see tamiya and takom make a version. Is there anyone else worth looking at? And if possible he prefers the male variant. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingsman Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Yes, Emhar kits are old and poor. Track construction might be a deciding factor. Tamiya's kit is motorised - a gimmick - but comes with one-piece clip together links. Takom offer tracks like this but as an add-on extra. The standard original separate male and female kits kit come with fiddly multi-part links. However, their newer male and female 2-in-1 kit comes with the better links as standard. Other than that I'm not sure there's much to choose between them. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bozothenutter Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 And the Takom kits have just been reissued. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 If you want an easy ride, as the others have suggested, go for Takom or Tamiya. You can make a silk purse out of the Emhar sow's ear, but it's a slog Here's one 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris B Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 mylo66 "Dont forget the Meng MK iv" That Meng is indeed a nice kit. I've made 3 - Male, Female and Hermaphrodite. I think however that you'll find it's a Mark V not a Mark IV 🙂. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
