Awesome model Eric.

Your excellent use of reference materials is exceeded only by your executional skills! The fidelity is amazing. As you go through your photos each one makes you think, more and more, that you are looking at the real thing. You have definitely captured the normal abbrasions of use. A true miniature replica!

Congratulations

Hi Eric,

Holy cow... that is very impressive. Your glorious M23 is quite possibly the best example I've ever seen.
The extra details added have won me over completely. Fabulous result.

Cheers, Paul

Whoa! Amazing!!

Textured head rest, Hunt's hanging helmet leather, wheel axle clips, detailed plumbing all around, "real" springs, a dashboard to die for..! Some of these look like pictures of the real car! You've even added red tunnel caps, and stitching on the steering wheel..!

Hat off, Eric!

SUPER :D :D :D
We are really being spoiled with two world class late version M23 projects.
I really love those Projects, where I can get a lot of inspiration. Hope to see more such Projects at such a high standard.
The M23 trans kit is right now being re-issued again. Guess a lot of people love that iconic car.
I hope MFH will do many more trans kits in 1/12. We are still waiting for the 1977 Tyrrell 6-wheeler trans kit, which was announced some time ago. Maybe the old hell with that license.
But right now looking forward to the 126 C2. Simply (also) a must-have.
