MFH 1/12 July

Post by Hugeprong »

First shot is up of the latest MFH 1/12. Only feels like a few days since the rather glamorous Brabham but this looks rather unusual as well.

Aerial view of a housing estate?? I think MFH first teased about a Williams with an aerial shot of Didcot. This looks rather different…

Las Vegas?

That's somewhere in California - most likely Los Angeles. The larger buildings have helipads. And the format of the helipad markings (a red circle with the number) showing the weight limit (in thousands of pounds) is the State of California's regulation.

Found the location on Apple Maps. It’s Marina Del Rey near Los Angeles. The original Shelby shop was in Venice very nearby. My guess it’s a sixties Cobra or Ford GT both of which were developed there. I grew up there and the photo looked familiar!
