Hi guys.

I had a recent disaster involving the body of my MFH 250 GTO. Since MFH has ran out of replacement bodies, I am looking into having the body restored by another modeler. If anyone is interested in restoring the body, please let me know. I will include photographs of the damaged body in this post. http://public.fotki.com/KidCharlemagne/250-gto-damaged-body/

If anyone is interested in restoring the body, please contact me.

Thanks.

I have a better idea that will be cheaper, go buy a Fujimi 250 GTO and combine the kits. The Fujimi GTO body is more accurate.

I had exactly the same idea but Tom beat me to it. I was thinking of the Revell/ Italeri plastic kit. I think the body will be really difficult to repair. If you insist on reconstructing the resin body you might insert parts from the plastic kit.

The body can be repaired with resin but it is an expensive proposition. I would not recommend mixing resin and plastic for a repair.

If you have no problem with a plastic body then using that option is fine.
