Re: MFH for April 2024

Gee, James, you need to get your priorities straight :P. You waste too much time working on kits, you should just buy and collect them.. ahem :D

Re: MFH for April 2024

If we take the reasoning from MoFo ... and this is indeed the Olympic park in Rio, then that Olympic park has been created for the 2016 Rio Olympics. Wouldn't we, by that logic, be looking for a car from that period (2016-2024), not something from before then? Something that has some sort of connect...

Re: MFH for April 2024

Well. I don't think that squiggley line has anything to do with a particular track (as in it is not a curve on a track). What I think is that that logo is based on the company ICI. Now take that and run down all the cars that they sponsored that had a mostly yellow body, and there you have it. Easy ...

Re: Thread/Posts etiquette

Well. I've seen it happen as well and I mean, if it is unsolicited, it's highly questionable but it also depends on how or what is done. Like say I see you post a detail you're working on and I might feel inclined to suggest "how about doing it differently, like so". Doing that, maybe a ph...

Re: PLASTIC Upcoming F1 Releases 2024

I just saw on bookface that apparently Kyosho is doing a few new.. die casts (1/12) in 2024. Among them is an F40 Competizione and a Shelby Cobra 427 S/C Spider. Pricing on that F40 is quite steep to be honest (989€), but will have to have a look at in person. The photos don't really convince me as ...

Re: PLASTIC Upcoming F1 Releases 2024

1/12 Stratos? Well bugger me. That will go into the collection. I've been lusting after the 1/12 Doyusha for a long time.. if this one is comparable or possible the same mould from back then, I don't care, me wants!

Re: 1/12 MFH March 2024

Interesting point. I should think that maybe they are focussing their interests towards other parts of the business and manufacture smaller runs than they used to? That said, I keep reading about reissues in limited numbers of previous kits. I just remember buying a number of big 917s (what else, ri...

Re: Soldering PE to white metal

My honest opinion regarding trying to solder PE-steel to white metal is simple: don't! Use either some form of superglue or something like loctite or similar. Why? white metal is a very soft material - also stupidly heavy considering it's lacking strength. So heating it up weakens it and as for the ...

Re: Meng McLaren MP4/4 in 1/24th scale

Well , I thought the same with other brands on other subjects, for example Meng doing a Fokker DR.I, admittedly drawn up by the masters of Wingnut Wings. Their kit has had some small issues, but overall it is a brilliant kit. I bought 3 of them despite already having a fair amount of Roden DR.I / F....
