Summary
The kit out of the box is an absolute triumph of engineering and although it is expensive my personal opinion is it is worth every penny. I built the Mk IX previously for the magazine and always said I wanted to go to town on this kit and with all the aftermarket parts now available and the Montex masks I couldn’t resist this Mk VIII. The kit goes together flawlessly and is a pleasure to build but the extras just make the difference. If you can only afford the kit you won’t be disappointed but if you can get the extras that I used go for it – the result is just stunning – I just can’t believe how kits have come on in the last couple of years – they now truly are miniature engineering feats and this kit is the pinnacle of this industry, well for now anyway!!
Plus Points:
- General quality and fit is excellent
- Engine and interior detail
- Instructions, decals and colour options
Watch out for:
- The price but this is subjective as I think it is worth it
- The plastic wheels are not everyone’s cup of tea
