Re: 1/12 MFH January 2024

Well I guess the red background may be significant but just looking at past Italian GP winners I hope it is one of;

Matra MS80 Cosworth
BRM P160
March 761
Brabham BT49
Brawn BGP001

Slim chance - but a man can dream....!!

Re: MFH 1/12 Sauber C9

It was a super model to build and I am grateful for such nice messages. Thank you.. Although I have a "day job" I do find that these MFH models are really fascinating projects and I think with each one, I "tune into" how to approach them a little better. I just wish I could have ...

Re: MFH 1/12 Sauber C9

I completed this project this week - 3 months and 10 days after I started it. Not sure if that is particularly long or short for this model but despite the lack of updates to this WIP thread, I can assure you that Progress was being made - slowly at times... I was thrilled with the general fit of th...

Re: MFH Mystery Kit for Nove... oh, it's an MP4/5

If one has done the MP4/5B already, is it worth buying this too? A dilemma....!

Re: MFH for October

I hope it sells well but, for me, a 50s road car isn’t very tempting. In truth the last MFH release to get me really excited was the FW07 more than year ago.

Re: MFH 1/12 Sauber C9

68.JPG Over the last month, (inspired by Primabaleron’s amazing work), I have completed the entire rear end of the C9 (with the sole exception of the rear wing supports which I will add at the last moment as they look very flimsy)! The engine was relatively straightforward. I was concerned that the...

Re: Will we see re-issues of newer kits ever again?

If I was a shareholder in Tamiya and I was aware of how much their kits are selling for on EBay I would be pressuring the management to reissue, say, 5000 of them at £75 a time! Worth a bit of hassle.. If they have demand for 70s F1 cars in 1/12, surely moderately modern subjects in 1/20 would fly o...

Re: MFH 1/12 Sauber C9

Thank you Tomasz. I am aiming to finish this within 3 months and so I am not sure mine will be nearly as good as yours I have now finished the main monocoque after adding lots of details between the seats as well as behind the dummy passenger seat (which is held in place by a magnet). Test fitting t...

Re: MFH 1/12 for August.

John Surtees was a complicated man and many say he was his own worst enemy really. He was impatient and impulsive - leaving Ferrari too soon and deciding to sell his F1 team just before Bernie started to weave his financial spells. Still, many worse people have been knighted in the UK and surely win...

Re: MFH 1/12 for August.

Wow - that is a niche choice!

I guess it will sell well in Japan.
