MPC's California Sunshine underway - Update 1

[Faust]

With a lot going on, some projects get pushed to the back burner. When the kit in question is an old MPC, that may be surprising, but it can happen. Case in point: the MPC California Sunshine kit. A lot happening at home, combined with straightout lying on MPC’s part have combined to make this one a bit of a non-starter.


However, things are rolling again, and it’s my pledge to get this thing done before the end of the year! It’s time to clear the backlog and get the Sunshine back in my life!

Check out my progress so far at the link below, and if you have one of these, get ready to be surprised by what I found out. (Or, maybe not… it is an old MPC…)

Oh My! I remember this kit as a kid, and I also remember some of the "kinda" things in the kit. I think even HBB was less than pleased with this kit.

It's funny, because if they'd just used a pic of the kit on the side of the box, then it wouldn't have been such a problem. However, trying to get the kit to look like the "photo of actual model" is impossible, and it really takes away from the experience of building this kit.

I don't know that this kit is going to be any harder than any other MPC, but it's harder to get going on because of this, that's for sure!
