Re: PLASTIC Upcoming F1 Releases 2018

Just got 2 kits delivered to the US by Hiroboy via DHL. I will echo the comments of others: the decals with full cigs for both cars would be worth $20-30 USD alone. The presentation is wonderful, the plastic looks sharp and the tyres are significant improvements over the original. The instructions ...

Re: Hobby Shops in Dubai

I have been in Dubai for over a year now and did not come across any shops specializing in static models. There is a Tamiya agent but focused mainly on RC. I have ordered most of my parts and models from online stores. Shipping is fast and easy. The only challenge is ordering paints, which are not e...

Re: 1-12 Tamiya Ferrari 312T - H parts

I agree it is a good link, but unfortunately South Africa is specifically excluded on the shipping list. Too bad, apart from one recent experience I have not had any trouble ordering from e-Bay and other on-line stores. Sometimes patience is required.

Re: 1/12th 312B Tires anyone??

You can count me in for a set of correct tyres as well. It is a pity that Tamiya did not fix this on their re-release. They could have also added the mesh covers for the engine. At least with the PE set they corrected the rear wing end plates and added seat belts. I would concur that this leaves the...

Re: Scale Motorsports 1/12 F1 photoetch

What I find interesting is why would SM release these photo etch sets when inparticular the Tamiya 312T kit is discontinued. They'll sell the Wolf WR1 quite well as this kit was recently re-issued. Maybe they know something we don't. I would really like to see some of the fibre parts for the 312T as...
