Italeri - Norton Manx

Fantastic Model in every way!

Very nice kit, quite complicated but enjoyable to do

Present for my 90 year old father, he finished it in a week , looks good

Fantastic model looks great . My grandson made it for me took him a long time but was worth it .He lost the tiny breather pipe for the petrol tank but still looks fantastic

The detail of the parts is excellent and they go together well. The parts are made very well and don't require much trimming and tidying up to make them fit well.

This is a nice model, but the tubing supplied is undersized both in length and internal diameter. The suggested paints should be readily available, and more relevant to the original. Having received a replacement item it has become apparent that there are problems with quality control. The reason why a replacement was organised was that a couple of the tubes necessary were too short, however the replacement kit whilst having the correct length of tube the quality was inferior although I did overcome that particular problem. The suggested paint colours did not suit the model but that could be a matter of individual choice. I would also suggest that it would be helpful to indicate the exact order in which the model is built for obvious reasons. However it was still an interesting model to build.

Rather old style kit . Moulds made 1964 . So bit of flash from leakage but good solid kit . Really enjoyed filing bits and a stunning half finished model . Recommend

This is, without doubt, the worst model kit I have ever had the misfortune of buying! Some part had a small amount of damage. So many many parts just do not not fit! Lots of misalignment issues throughout the build. The product quality is really bad. I have had to alter so many parts to make them fit it is beyond a joke. The instructions are not great. Being an experienced model kit builder this wasn't a major issue but would be an absolute nightmare for someone less experienced. The main issue is things just not going together as they should; rear shocks don't fit the frame lugs, the engine ends up twisted as nothing is square or straight, the frame needs a lot of effort to line up, hoses are rubbish.... I could go on. Avoid at all costs!
