I agree 100% about the defects remarked. Definitely, the tail is too high and straight, tyres are too "thick" and brakes too small. Sh*t.
Hope that somebody at MFH will take note and make corrections. These are big mistakes to pay more than $600 for the kit

Good morning all
indeed the various errors are obvious.
from MFH it's still disturbing! But !
meanwhile it is true that for the price of this kit Mr. Hiro you could be more precise

That looks cool. Not really into that car but having it built in that used and abused look could be very cool.
But I wont buy that model....make good kit, get good money :) Maybe it will pop up somewere cheap and I will have a go...

As far as I know some member has contacts at MFH. May be it should be a good idea to comment them about these big mistakes.
If they really like accuracy in their products shouldn't feel offended.
I nobody wants to do, I will but need to know a mail address. What do you think about?

I think it's too late for that.
The design process is ended a while ago.
They have to cast all the parts now when they want to deliver the first ones at the end of this months.

Quality control was not here.
