Assuming this is the picture you want, save it in your archive and paste the URL into your Avatar box.

With regards to the kits you'll get biased answers, so the best way to decide is to get along to one of the shows and have a look at the quality for yourself.

You'll not go far wrong with either of the kits you've mentioned. Location can also be an influencing factor on the kit you decide to go for.

I'd say go for the MK but then I'm biased

Who needs a kit ? If you are serious why not go with one or other of the books and build it from scratch? It will take longer but it will a) be much more satisfying b) you will have much more control over your build, not tied to one supplier for parts. c) you will learn so much more than bolting a kit together and you will be responsible for any problems rather than some manufacturer therefore you can fix them yourself and take pride in it! d) you have the opportunity to build a unique vehicle exactly as you want it!

It may well not be noticeably cheaper than a kit but it will be worth so much more to you.

MK and GTS have there own sections on this forum, so do MAC#1, Luego, MNR and Tiger. Read them they ae quite interesting!! As said, best to go to a show and sit in a few cars or go see someone local who has a car that you are interested in.
