Re: Proper 15 inch tyres for MFH 1/12 Ferrari 126C2

Will post about the dimensions once at home. The car in the picture is the San Marino GP version so should be 15 rear and 13 fronts. In the case of trying to use the MFH rims onto your wheels, its not possible as the MFH is a whole rim cylinder in which then you add the Speedline spokes and all the ...

Re: Proper 15 inch tyres for MFH 1/12 Ferrari 126C2

I can't figure out how these things can escape the careful eyes of MFH when designing the kit.

Proper 15 inch tyres for MFH 1/12 Ferrari 126C2

I don't know if this was ever raised in the past but the availability (or lack of) in the market, forces me to inquire a bit more. I am currently building the Model Factory Hiro 1/12 Ferrari 126C2 in the Zolder version (ver. D). Its an awesome piece of kit, that yet again, just like most kits of the...

Alclad clear coats on White Metal Parts

Am about to start my very first MFH kit, the 1/12 Ferrari 126C2 and am already nervous about the idea of building a kit with a different approach then a Tamiya kit. With the 126C2 having a nice shiny monocoque, I have already decided that i will finely sand the white metal up to 12,000 grade and the...

Airbrushes with good flow for large scale bodies

As i'm only into 1/12 scale, I sometimes find that my Iwata Revolution HP-CR with 0.3mm needle/nozzle is a bit on the low side when it comes to spray a whole large cowling like the one for example in a 126C2 which is a complete whole unit. Covering power is a bit on the low side, requiring some mult...

With some parts left for the last shots of 2k clear, i need to know if silicone remover is actua...
