Re: 1/12 MFH January 2024
Less development time invested in a proportion kit. With such low production development/prototyping/tooling/instructions are a big chunk of their cost. Can't say this is a trend but these are probably more profitable and easier for the novice, as has been mentioned. With Hiro-san's passing no one i...

Re: MFH 1/12 for April.
The Lotus 88 is a no-brainer for MFH. Most all of the cost to produce a low-volume kit is design/development. They've already done all the design in 1/20 for both the Essex 88 and the JPS 88b. They just need to click a couple of menu's to scale it up, making a few changes where needed. In the past t...

Re: MFH Ferrari "fleet" coming ! !
Mr. Hiro counted up how many stickers he has left and planned his runs and quantity breaks to use them up.

Re: Where can I get "This" CF pattern decal??
I haven't seen that pattern in a decal myself. But here's a thought. The attempts at shooting color through a piece of screen usually isn't as convincing as a decal but in this case it might be just the thing. It may be worth some experimentation.

Re: MFH next 1/12 full detail kit.
I was just going through my 1/20th version of this model last night and was reminded how much (99%) of the detail is also included in the smaller version for 28% of the price! The 1/12th scale kit has those beautiful wheels with individual spokes though and that likely drove up the price a bunch. Bi...

Re: New 1/8 Pocher kit.
I struggle to understand why there is such a high part count for this kit. Pocher classics like the Rolls Maharajia and Mercedes 500K could claim about 1000 parts apiece but 480 of them were spokes and nipple tensioners for six wheels.
