Re: Mshobbies

That's weird. I've ordered from Mark several times over the years with no problems. He's always been up front when I've talked to him. I hope everything is ok. I know he does have a day job and I'm sure that keeps him overly busy with today's times. With that said sometimes things happen and hope he...

Re: 1/20 Mclaren MP4/5b

If I may offer an opinion, loose the back grounds in your photos. It disrupts what your really trying to let us see. The pictures of the engine in white background let us see more of the model over the busy-ness of the background which blurs (or hides) the subject. The white back ground also allows ...

Then you can use any quick connect line coupler you want for a std air compressor hose. You can also do it this way which is how I have mine for now. h...

Re: another Mp 4/2

Re: another Mp 4/2

So, Managed to get the master cylinder parts and the boots done for the clutch side too. Also the lower control arm pivot boxes. I wonder if they are part of the substructure in side the drivers compartment (leg area) but there is no way to tell without being intimate with the vehicle so I have to g...

Re: another Mp 4/2

Since I'm going through all the trouble to detail the brakes in the kit I cut the nose off. There is actually some sub structure in there that is missing in the kit. You can just make it out in the reference pics uploaded on the site. I will add the nose substructure and then once the monocoque is d...
