MFH DBR9 Question?

[williamsfw2427]

I just got the DBR today and its the LM 2007 kit. This is going to be my second go around with a MM kit and lets just say my first atemped didnt go so well.
My question is are there any trouble spots with this kit that a newbie might not catch? Ill take any and all advice...... So please fire away. Is CA glue the best way to go?? I must say this is a BEAUTIFUL kit.

Thanks

Well I'm still in the trail-and-error fase but can say this:
Clean the part well, that includes sanding and cleaning the resin prior to primering it.
Test fit a lot; these kit's require more attention than plastic kits.
Maybe someone can add things I missed?...

This model isn't so detailed speaking of interiors, but add some details wouldn't be a problem also for a novice: the major problem I see is in the "glass" surrounds they done by decals and as any MM kit in the warmformed parts: just pay attention, cut a bit larger and carefully sand down. I like glue warmcasted parts with thinned white glue.

Do a search in this section for Klutz's and for TheSaints111's threads on their builds. They pretty much got you covered on the trouble spots and alot of detail that can be added. Also, Klutz's fix for the window decals is great.

I too have the '07 kit and it looks as if the problem of the rear left wheel has been corrected. I'm still in the test fitting stage on mine, as Im waiting for my paint to arrive before I jump in on the build. But so far the MFH kits fit is really good, minor sanding here and there to fit the chassis to the body right and a few minor mold lines to be removed otherwise even less prep work then some of the injection molded kits I have collecting dust.

Good luck on your build.
