Hey fellow modelers, have any of you built any of the Formula 1 kits made by Revell Germany? If so, did you experience any dislikes, gripes, or likes about the kits?
I just picked up one the these last night. The Jordan-Mugen Honda yellow car. Now, I usually don't gripe and complain about kits, but this one is really bad. I have found out that they're made by Protar-not very good to begin with. The moulding is bad, extremely bad. There aren't too many sink marks on this one , but several holes in areas where sink marks would usually be and many distorted pieces on the body. The decals are the only things that seem descent.
This is gonna be a real challenge to try and correct these flaws. Now I'm dreading this build. The Jordan car looks like such a cool subject to replicate and Tamiya doesn't make current versions except for the current Ferrari and McLaren kits.
Here's a pic of what the real car looks like.
