Mclaren 722GT and Hamann SLR Volcano'slovegt40 11-08-2011, 05:10 PM just received this interesting info from Hobby design. they just finished the TK for the SLR 722 GT, imho the nicest version ever of the mclaren mercedes slr. I took a TK from ebay some yrs ago (think a clone of the Meko),but was missing in decal sheet that I redraw by myside. Also the Hamann Volcano is a cool version,surely less boring than standard versions from tamiya. From pics seems they did a nice work, with a lot of PE parts and a full rollcage (I look mostly at the version I like more..the Gt :iceslolan)but also the hamann livery is pretty cool. This Tk has a nice roll cage inside and the main parts to convert the tamiya kit.the resin seems really well moulded. I love these badboy versions.. :tongue: http://img221.imageshack.us/img221/3162/hd030004ne.jpg http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/3782/dsc1906e.jpg http://img202.imageshack.us/img202/1939/dsc1901t.jpg http://img266.imageshack.us/img266/1179/dsc1903b.jpg and the volcano http://img526.imageshack.us/img526/4540/63359177.jpg http://img192.imageshack.us/img192/517/dsc07812sp.jpg http://img195.imageshack.us/img195/3000/dsc07752m.jpg They are making a lot of cool subjects,hope they will go on also with the new SLS gt.many many interesting cars to be made,also as tk. :iceslolan BVC500 11-08-2011, 05:54 PM Yeah, lots of great products, but they struggle with quality. Resin shrinkage, sometimes inaccurate parts, etc. HD would be just grand if they fixed the issues! RonCla 11-08-2011, 06:19 PM I've got that 722GT trans Kit in my stash. Its a nice trans kit let down on my one by a warped bonnet. I haven't been able to square it up and am worried a replacement may warp over time as well. The best option I'm seeing is to just modify the Tamiya bonnet to replicate the Hobby Design one. lovegt40 11-08-2011, 06:29 PM yes,probably is the best choiche.also the Meko tk I had suffered the same problem. asked for a replacement and arrived...warped again:( Suspect it is due to different temperatures they have sending resin via airmail.when they are so thin,it can happens. just my 2 cents. portalus 11-20-2011, 06:16 AM Lovegt40, you built the 722GT?
