A little update and my thoughts about MFH kits. So overall very happy with the kit and some of the metal and aluminum parts really makes for a great looking kit. But i find it kinda odd that the photo etched parts and decals are numbered and all other parts have numbers in instructions but no part number on part and no number on a parts tree like a normal model kit. You get maybe over 200 parts loose in a bag, so why even give them a part number ? ok an intake manifold will be easy to find, but some of the small parts can be hard to find or figure out what they are. On this instruction photo they have part M47 going to the wrong place. M46 goes to top radiator mount. One last thing if someone decides to build one, the kit doesn't come with lower radiator (pipe) hose. i made one and wasn't to hard but trying to install after engine has been glued to frame made this very difficult. So i would recommend to organize parts by step number like i have seen other builders do with a MFH kit. Could make things a bit easier. Bill, if you go to the MFH site under that kit, there are parts lay-outs for the white metal pieces. I usually save those to my computer, then go to a print shop and have them printed at 11 X 17. That gives you a picture of the parts at full size.  |

Now that helps a lot ! Thanks Paul. I figured there had to be a reason for part numbers in instructions. I have much fewer parts now and on the home stretch with the steering wheel , seat belts and body.  |
