alain11 Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 hi good job so far , that looks realistic !!! I was fascinated by E Senna , he was a special guy , with a fighting spirit , I think he came from another planet , there was , and even today nobody like him , he was "inhabited" when chasing the pole positions Alain Rockie Yarwood, mpk and mark31 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodgem37 Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Nice engine. I think I may have this car in 1/20th scale. It's been traveling around with me unfinished for 40 years, or so. Sincerely, Mark mpk, mark31 and Rockie Yarwood 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greif8 Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 Cool subject for a build Mark. I followed F1 for many years until about 10 years ago. I remember watching Senna finish second place at Hockenheimring in 1986 when one of my uncles took me to the race as a boy. I still recall how impressive the black and gold paint scheme looked on the car. Have fun with the build!

jenshb Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Good start Mark. Did the engine come with pistons and a crankshaft? Getting that gloss black finish flawless will be a challenge. mark31, Rockie Yarwood and mpk 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

machine_marty Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Very nice, lovely clean build. I've been considering an MFH kit for some time and was wondering if they're worth the money/effort required. Your post kinda proves that they are mpk and mark31 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
