Guest Peterpools Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Pascal Incredible kit. One quick question; why Gravity paints instead of Zero paints? Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Just WOW! I love it! With all the fantastic detail, I would have 1/2 the engine torn down ...Harv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Beautiful start! I too am currently hooked on these MFH kits....there is just something incredibly satisfying about them for me. I have been working for a few months on the 1/12 Ferrari 1962 250 GTO....I'm just too lazy to do a WIP. My hope is that they release a 1/12 Porsche 917/30....
