The F1M Forums

I've got my S27 MP4/14 kit and comparing it to Tamiya's MP4/13 I can only see a couple of small differences in the rear of engine cover. Plus I assume some differences in decals. It made me wonder, why nobody produced trans-kit for Tamiya MP4/13 to make curbside MP4/14 ? Looks like a very simple pro...

Looking through all my references, Renault looks quite decent. Still need references for rear suspension and diffuser, please. James, I thought about using styrene reinforced with brass tube or rod. Styrene even at 2-3mm is way too flexible and so is 2-3mm diameter brass tubes. Haven't checked brass...

Denis, great info, as usual. Thanks a lot. I finally started to collect

this forum and it isn't always easy to find it afterward.

I would like to know more about conversion too.

James, to lower it I think I actually would need to re-work suspension. Thanks for idea about using F2002 uprights as a start. I was thinking about using some other F2002 parts, like driver seat for example. My issue here is lack of reference pictures and factual data. I haven't found out so far wha...

Manu, great build of great looking car. Could I ask for English WIP ? I think you really have sound approach to your builds, otherwise you wouldn't be able to build models so fast. And I think many of other modelers, especially those just starting with MM kits, would benefit from your vast experienc...

Thanks for providing the examples you have, and the pics. Can you or someone provide a list of available subject models, models not 'covered' or provided already in the plastic line? Denis, I don't have such a list. All I know so far are 3 R/C cars from NewRay - Renault, McLaren and Williams, and 2...
