All I can say is thank you Italeri for reissuing this kit. This is the end of the moon prices in various online auction houses. It is really fun to read the statements of the "rivet counters" what all is "wrong" with a kit that is over 36 years old. To 99% the upcoming kits of t...

OK, so I have the 126CK kit as discussed via messages the tub is slightly different than what you have pictured. Some dimensions cannot be measured without full assembly of some parts which I won't do at this time. Anyhow here are the dims that I was able to measure. All Dims are in inches A = 6.600...

This is an eight year old thread!!! No wonder the link doesn't work. James I think your question would have been better asked in a PM rather than dredge up and eight year old thread!!

I agree, I think of myself as a model builder. I have no interest in putting a few pre finished parts together just so I can get something finished. The fun for me is building. I'm not knocking 3D printing etc, it's another tool to use but I don't want to end with a 'shake and make' kit. Where's th...

Photos look great!! Tell us more about the experiment...

The upright riding style back then seems so odd now after watching today's pilots throw the current GP bikes around the track!!

I can see how they may have shared CAD data. There are at least some common elements between the two cars (engine, monocoque, body, etc.). I'm not saying they are the same but it's a lot easier and quicker to produce something when you have a good starting point. Very True!! Here's one thing that m...

I wonder if they sold the molds and manufacturing rights for the MP4/4 to Meng to bolster Nunu's finances to allow the 99T to finally get manufactured? Hmmm not a foolish theory at all! :D Except that they are two distinctly different cars if you look at the side by side pictures posted earlier in ...

The Meng model is just an early 3D render though. Yes, I noticed that as well. If they are truly going to release this kit in 3 months I would hope for photos of a test shot not a rendering. The side by side with the Nunu test shot is a good indication that it will at least be a different version. ...

I would be really shocked if that price holds up. We all know that these preorder prices can change significantly between the initial announcement and the actual release. With the Meng GT-40 coming in north of $300 USD compared to the much less expensive Trumpeter kit I would imagine the Meng MP4/4 ...
