Hi George,
makes me "feel good" to see you facing a new challenge!!!!
Oh, these "old" MFH-Kits do have a strange and morbide force of attraction......i know, i know.....but isn't that something an ambitious modeller wants and needs? It's something like a love-hate-relationship, isn't it?
On the other hand, these kits are rare, expensive and offer a lot of details, parts and challenge. Once completed the feeling of MISSION ACCOMPLISHED is more powerful than at other miniatures...;-)
The range of HIRO-Kits fulfilles a lot of desires, especially when it's about these brute, loud, flat, fast and oil-smelling 1960-1970's sportscars.....what an era.....imagine all these drivers......the tracks......the atmosphere in the paddocks.....
Thats why i've choosen one of those legends for my next project too. After that time-and-nerve-consuming 917LH i'll start the HIRO Alfa Tipo 33/3 short tail of 1970 on monday. So i'm with you all the way, George!!
All the best for you and your 250-build, i'm awaiting every update with pleasure.
all the best,
greets from a fan
Jochen
