RE: [BaadAssGremlins] awesome detail on model pace / MPC rep

The Japanese kits were great but the price often times were a deterrent
to buying them, but you get what you pay for.

In my modeling days (mainly late 70s/early 80s), MPC *car* kits
were horrendously bad, worse than Revell, and Monogram was the
prefered maker...everything fit with no fuss. Of course, certain
cars only came from certain makers, so you want that specific
car, you gotta deal with the maker. I found even the AMT and Johan
kits were better to work with than the MPCs. Can no longer recall
specific troubles of their kits...just recall fighting with them
every time.

Monogram stank at planes and armor. For that, you had to go
Hasegawa and Tamiya. Man, those Tamiyas were a joy!

Nice model. I have a 77 MPC Pacer partially built model and I fail to
see the put down on MPC's being difficult to build. Maybe because I been
building model cars since 1957? Still no bids as of this morning. It may
be worth the starting bid price but it is the wrong car to ask the
Rambler Mentality to ask them to pay it. I too would pass even though I
could easily afford it.
