Re: Ferrari 330P4 reference photos wanted

The MFH kit and a lot of the reference images you find are from a car that was extensively re-built. The original cars had some aluminum sheet so that only the reservoirs were serviceable from the outside. When the 0846 car was rebuilt, they decided just to leave these panels out for some reason. S...

Re: Ferrari 330P4 reference photos wanted

Take a look over here. It's a 1/12 MFH model built by Frederic Suber with a lot of pictures of the front section

Re: Ferrari 330P4 reference photos wanted

I can't find any picture showing the master cylinders. Only found these diagrams, front and rear https://cdnb.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/047/201/235/large/ian-tan-interior-front-diagram.jpg?1647003983 https://cdna.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/047/201/242/large/ian-tan-interior-re...

Re: Huge thank you to MFH

Well, my opinion is slightly different. As MFH don't check their kits properly and frequently there are missing or wrong parts, customers must waste time doing their own checking and finally claiming. If we are happy with this procedure of MFH, for sure they will continue this way. It's cheaper for ...

Re: Anyone have the scoop on what is going on with Roberto at Icaro?

I always contact Roberto via Facebook. It's true that these days it's taking more time to get an answer. Hope it's nothing about illness but only he is busy as usually.
Did you check if he has read your Facebook message?

Re: Tamiya 1/12 312T4 Resurrection

Yeah, I know procedure should be different depending on the glue. Supposing that polystyrene cement was used, is there a safe way to separate parts with minimum risk of breaking?. I know that cement dissolves the plastic to make the join but, may be there is a product or method that can help to sepa...

Re: Tamiya 1/12 312T4 Resurrection

Have you used any product to disassemble the parts without damaging? I have some old kits I would like to restore but I'm afraid to break parts.
Time ago I remember a member that used an ultrasonic machine to remove paint and parts became disassembled

Re: Decals over white paint

Michael explained it perfectly. It’s the gel like carrier film that yellows. You can see also on not used decals no matter how well stored. It yellows as the Humbrol clear did 🤷‍♂️ Better solution what I do 8) : decals with white carrier film I haven't any doubt about it's the carrier film that yel...

Re: Decals over white paint

Die casts use Tampo printing - totally different. The carrier film of the paper you are using is the first contributor - any clear coats you put over it would be the next. But it it's ONLY happening where the decal is, then it's the decal film. If the problem is oxidation or degradation because of ...
