Has anyone built the 1/3 scale Minicraft 750 engine yet?

I built one in 1973 or so (same molds I am going to guess) and for quality it wasn't very good. Its okay, but nowhere on a scale if Tamiya or Aoshima did it. But its kind okay and if you spend lots of time prepping, filling and painting, it is presentable.

There were posts about it in the old greenspun forum. In eBay people is asking 100 bucks for it. You can buy it online for about 25 bucks.

Was it the working 750 engine? How well did it work?

Jeez, that's all I need, someone coming into the garage and asking how come the engine in your bike doesn't look that good? My feelings would be hurt.  :-[

Once completed I will of course smear grease and oil in all the appropriate seepage spots and faux finish major wear spots on the cases.
