Does MFH Sell Parts?

Post by MoFo »

I just noticed they've (re-?)released the Bugatti 35 in 1/43. I could use some of the engine parts for my long-term Bugatti Land Speed Record car build, but I don't want to shell out for the full kit to take the parts.
Je ne regrette rien.

Well, I think that they will sell parts. Case in point. I bought one of the 1964 GTo kits 1/12th second hand. I was so badly mutilated by the person that started it and then more damage occurred during shipping that I ordered a completely new engine and other parts. This was long before MFH made engine kits a thing. I was charged in accordance with the parts I needed. So, I think that if you contact Kyoko and explain what you are doing they might be open to selling you what you need. Good Luck!!

I have purchased parts from Kyoko Hiro on several occasions. Shipping is more than normal because Covid has limited them to DHL.

They sure do.

Not long after I placed an order with MFH for their 1:12 Lotus 77, I arranged for Kyoko to supply me with a second set of the main white-metal parts for the tub.

As usual, this was no problem for Kyoko and she handled my order with her usual efficiency. As expected, I paid for these parts and the postage, but I didn't expect Kyoko to rush them to me via an express courier, which was nice of her to do.

Cheers, Paul

Two times I asked for 1/12 tire sets, but got the answer: we don't sell them, although I offered a good price.

Same experience here with asking for decals, not even a reply.

I bought a set of decals of the Porsche 917k Martini.
Want to use them for a Minichamps conversion.

Maybe you have to say that you own the kit the parts are from?

So... maybe. :) Guess I'll try dropping them a line. Anyone have the correct email?

Odd, I've bought many sets of decals from them but they were all ordered through my dealer, Mac's Modeling

Mofo,

"kyoko@modelfactoryhiro.com" and "mfhkyoko@gmail.com" have worked for me in the past.

Mac could be a good way to go, unfortunately i don`t know if it makes sence as he has to send it overseas to me in europe, not realy cheap! But your surely right, Mac is a nice guy and allways helpfull, did a couple of deals with him over the years.
Strange was to me only that i got no reply from MFH, quiet often read that others had good contact and succesfully got what they needed, not sure what happened finaly to my mail.
