Re: modelingmaster:Porsche 959 Paris Dakar 86

yea,i dont have,or have seen a mfh kit,but i have a few resin kits from,reji,le mans,scale production,fisher,Quik Skins.

i would say the quality of this transkit,could compare with fisher and scale production.

and the resin body is about thin as a styrene body.

i have not test fit eny parts,but if the fit is good as the parts look,this would be a very good build.

How did you pay ??

I'm keen on one of these (and the upcoming 308 Gr4), but I'm used to paypal-ing, and you can't do that to Russia apparently...

I know Roman doesn't take PayPal, and I'm curious to know what costs etc are associated with a bank draft/ Western Union etc....

Thanks

David

Hi David,

I received my package a few days ago too, still haven't found time to post feedback.
I may propose a complete review but am too busy for the moment to do it.
This TK simply is fantastic !

I ordered two kits, paid with bank transfer (costing me a 27 euros fee) and Western Union for such amount would have costed 25 euros.
Wanted to try bank to see how efficient and fast it is compared to Western Union which is instantly available.

As already said, anyone thinking to get this model simply hasn't to hesitate and has to order one !! It's high standard transkit and resin casting.

in the US it was simple, I called Western Unions 800 phone number gave them the amount and Romans name and city, they gave me a number, I went to my local Western Union office 2 blocks away in a grocery store, I gave them that number and handed them the money, they then gave me another number which I emailed to him and it was done, it cost me $18 US if I remember correctly,

Thanks RallyMaster and Darkknightlives....

I'll look into Western Union.... As you both say, this is too good to pass up....

Yup, i tried a few times at my local bank, but they have difficulty sending the money to Russia...Western Union seems like the most easiest way...but i will try again thru bank, caz the fees at WU is not cheap

BTW, i'm waiting for my kits to arrive...
