Having reached the practical conclusion of the MP4/23 I have a few observations that I would like to put to the Forum
First of all I think Kyosho are to be congratulated on the production of such a superb model both in the design and rendering which has allowed modellers of all skill levels to build this kit, no mean feat. They are of course experts in the field.
What has struck me as very strange is the way Deagostini has delivered the parts to us and the chaotic way we have been instructed to put everything together. Those of us who have been involved in this hobby for some time know that modular build is best and the delicate parts such as painted body panels and extraneous parts are left to the final assembly to avoid damage, but according to the suggested method it's back to front, example:- skid blocks supplied weeks after the under tray has been completed, decal sheet at the end so applying them is made difficult.
My final moan is that, being aware this model was going to be expensive we all went into it with our eyes open but the few parts at the end are dragging everything out so the cost has been extended by many pounds which I think will make further purchases of Partworks models something to really think 'is.it worth it'.
Well that's my rant, thanks for the fun of the Forum you have all been great.
Tony

Indeed. I was dubious before 'signing up'. However ive been impressed with the quality of the kit and it does seem a little drawn out but i guess we knew this to be the case anyway. I am a little baffled at how some parts have gone together like a dream but others have been a b*tch! And it has seemed back and forth in the construction. I suppose theres method in there madness

Hello Todayshorse,
The 'back and forth' method of assembly seems to be an inherent part of most partworks, which is most likely to keep you buying the issues, since you will need all of the parts to complete it, if a complete car is what you want, but some may have only wanted all the parts to build an engine for display, in which case they'd stop buying the issues after that. Makes sense if you are the company selling the partwork really??
