Spring has sprung, and that means that it’s wet, muddy and generally kinda crappy weather-wise. Add in all the craziness that’s going on in the world, and it might be enough to make you pull the covers back over your head and just wait for better times. However, there’s nothing to brighten a dull day like some good old-school MPC craziness!!

In order to brighten everyone’s spririts, and to thank everyone for helping my little site get to 300,000 views, I thought something different should be done over at the Sprue Lagoon. Thus, I decided to put my four MPC Monzas head-to-head and see just how similar, or different, they are!

So, if you want a trip back in time to a more badge-engineered, parts-reusing, mix-and-match era, where bad customs and crazy decals were the norm, then strap in and check out the link below! H-Body shenanigans a-plenty await!

Adam,
Will be heading on over to your site in a few min. to checkout your head to head to head to head comparison.

Thanks man!

I hope you enjoy it.

MPC sure weaves a tangled web when it comes to recycling their kits!

Another classic review Adam, love your work!

Some very scary stuff going on there. "Dual quads" with no air cleaners, damn! A full kit of bright orange plastic? Some seriously nightmarish decal colour combos, and you would need a 5-point harness to stop you from sliding out of the drivers seat on the Long Shot.

Do I see a 4-way side-by-side build in our future?

Cheers, D

LOL, great write up. Amazing amount of research for a car model. But if you want to see these bowties come to life it's gonna have to be Damien, not me.

Thanks, guys!

I love the orange! Been too long since a kit came in Orange. Or, you know, not long enough. Your choice.

No, Damian, I'm not that crazy! I might not even build all four of them before I die (mind you, I'm hoping that's 50+ years away...), but just having them is fun. It's even more fun when I get to write them up for everybody!

I know I have to do a stock slotmouth, but after that... all bets are off.

Great review Adam. I admire your fortitude to dig and do the dirty work where few us would dare to tread.

cheers
Michael

Great kits i have the one in the upper right hand corner.
