Has anyone else spotted this? Looks very cool! Wouldn't mind buying it if it was just a tad cheaper. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290523878216&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT
The belt line is too low on the body. Makes the side windows too tall (look at the size of the quarter window opening) That will be tough to alter to get the profile correct. The bumpers are chromed but the wheels/rims are not??? C'mon. For 60 + beans it should be tighter. Wheres the high back buckets for the front??? Too much green for that resin. Never mind the bucket seats...I missed the bench in the photo...
From what I was told, the body was pulled from the old Johan kit and had the spoiler corrected. From what everyone that has dealt with Missing Link has told me, their resin is one of the best in the industry. It's almost like working with plastic and you don't have to thin it out or remove a ton of resin flash like has to be done with a good many resin kits on the market. If you have a problem with one of their kits, they are happy to help you as best as they can. Please note that this is what I've been told on more than one scale model forum only. I have no experience with the company or their products what so ever. As for the price, with the economy being what it is, everything has gone up. I agree that it's expensive, but just about every resin caster has raised their prices due to material expenses. Most resin casters work out of a garage or small shop and don't order in bulk like the major companies. Their costs are higher and as a result, their products are more expensive. I had to stop casting my own parts because of it actually. I only cast parts for my personal use and don't get any price breaks what so ever. I just can't afford the materials at this point in time. Hope this helps, -Scott H.
Some cool bodies here, thinking of using one for my drag slot cars. Even have a Maverick Funny Car body. http://www.perrysresin.com/catalog.htm
OUCH! Someone overpaid! You can get it directly from them for less! http://www.missinglinkrc.com/ Check their web site for their facebook page. -Scott H.
