A huge improvement compared to the original parts as it looks like :)

Hi Malc,

I am greatly enjoying the wonderful progress you are making on what looked to be a pretty crude kit at first.

In spite of the kits' numerous shortcomings there is a great deal of potential lurking underneath all the faults. Your progress to date has begun to reveal the amount of correctional work required to bring this kit up to the standard that a 512 deserves.

To be honest I am finding that your WIP is making me consider the possibility of getting this kit for myself. While the kit is nowhere near the same standard as MFH, the correctional work you have undertaken so far is a vast improvement. I cannot wait to see how well it will all fit together.

Shame about the wheel spokes being so crudely formed. Is it worth considering making a resin cast of your 910's wheels instead of sourcing a spare set?

I look forward to your next update.

Cheers, Paul
Sydney, Oz.

The original one that was sold from Giorgino Models was about 250€ plus shipping.
The 225€ that are ask in the marketplace are a very good price.

capri,

I don't doubt that at all. Forums like this are the best places to get good deals on rare or hard to find kits, for sure

Still, a little to pricey for me :( Or I could save my pennies for a rainy day..... :D
