I wonder, what would happen, if the model is released without stating it is a Lotus, rather some madeup name, maybe supplied with an "alternative" (=made up) decal scheme or some generous alterations to the body (with an update kit from someone to fix it to be the original - if you catch m...

Hm, based on the colours and the grooves I had though Honda RA300, but those rears only have 7 groups and it's showing 8 here. With the 512S I'm counting 9 grooves. The RA273 has 8 grooves. But that has been done by Tamiya aeons ago, so maybe not. MFH already released the RA300 a year ago now! Did ...

Well the Lotus is 1/20 so likely a considerably smaller box size, actually according to the interwebs it's about the size of an A4 sheet of paper (29x19x7 cm). So with that in mind the box is not nearly as bulky as a 1/12 Tamiya 910/934/935/T70... Matter of perspective really

Dry fit looks pretty damn good to me. Also kind of a neat idea to use the spots of the actual screws or fasteners or whatever they are for the location pins.

Well, yes, I did :(. But that aside, the rear tire does not match the number of grooves on a RA300 tire anyway - although the MFH kit hast the same amount of grooves, maybe different race... It does, however, match the amount of grooves on a 1970 Alfa 33/3 as of the Le Mans movie fame. And since the...

Hi Eric,

only small thing I've noticed is that whenever I open a multi-page thread it defaults to the first page of the thread, not to the page with the unread post(s).
Other than that everything is working tip top for me. Cheers!

Hey, does anyone know if the colour for the Shelby Cobras is, per chance, the same colour used on the '62 GT0 #17 (Bob Grossmann, Glenn "Fireball" Rogers) at Le Mans 1962? It seems similar - blue with white stripes. Some models show the same kinda colour, others show the GTO as being a con...

Unless I'm wrong, I haven't seen a kit of an MK1, MKIV or the Mirage M1 in 1:12 scale. There is an MKIV diecast out there with a steep price tag if it can be found anywhere...

Didn't Shelby work on the GT40 as per the Le Mans movie with Matt Damon as Shelby and Christian Bale as Ken Miles (for Le Mans 66)...? GT40 MK1 or MK2? My initial thoughts were Long Beach or Surfer's Paradise as that doesn't look anything like Monaco. Maybe one of the newer F1 city circuits - like V...
