Build a few on the Tamiya 1/12 F1 cars, big and impressive like 1/32 planes. Look forward to seeing this build. Really like the looks of the current F1 cars, with all the spoilers and aero aids. The MFH kits have always fascinated/terrified me, especially the full detail versions. Will follow along. Don BloorwestSiR and mark31 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloorwestSiR Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Great start Mark. You're braver than I am. I've got a couple of their kits in the stash and I'm too cowed to start any of them. Carl Out2gtcha and mark31 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Thanks its a lot to clean up but the fit is good you still have to drill a few holes,just the instructions are a bit off a troubbel just dry fit and adjust a few pieces I hope that i can show you more in a few days Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fvdm Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Geat start Mark, I will follow closely. I think you really get a challenge with the decals on these complex shapes so take your time. Have fun building this. mark31 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monthebiff Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Cool project Mark, Ugly cars during that period with far to many aero pieces sprouting everywhere. At least they have pulled that back a bit and the cars look a lot cleaner even with the the safety hoops fitted now. Regard. Andy mark31 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy This car is from 2008 which was the pinnacle of the ugly aero add-on bits! Then the cars were gradually cleaned up...and now they are headed back in the direction of 2008 again! The more things change in F1 the more they stay the same. Mark--the front wing looks good! These MFH kits are great so I'll keep an eye on your build with interest. Keep up the good work. mark31 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

32scalelover Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 That is really cool. I have built several 1/12 Tamiya F1 cars, but never even heard of this company. Is the front wing white metal or aluminum? It is really polishing up well. I looked online to find out more about these and saw how expensive they were. WOW!! Do they fit together fairly well, and do they have good clear instructions? Greg mark31 and Out2gtcha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg indeed the price tag is high but it are great kits its almost like a tamiya kit only more clean up it are white metal parts and some PE About the instructions you have to plane and dry fit before you put it togheter ore you can end up with mistakes ask me about that This kit is a proportion kit and dondt have a engine the have kits full detail and are amazing i have 2 off them right now but will make a wip when i finnish this one 20 hours ago, Out2gtcha said: Great work Mark!
