Re: MFH 1/12 Sauber C9

A couple areas to watch out for, I had a little problem with the fuel fillers and rear brake ducts lining up with the body openings.

Re: Model Factory Hiro, Toleman TG 184, 1/12

I'll be watching this closely, I bought this kit about a year ago and haven't started it yet. I have been waiting for someone to do a build so I can see if there any problems with the kit. Good luck.
