The F1M Forums

Good topic! I am a member of another forum where people keep throwing pictures of their models in threads that someone else has started and I find that very bad form and cannot understand why it is tolerated. There is the fact that some builders are better in some topics than others and some have sp...

The guy is a scammer. He cheated me out of two model kits from eBay back in the day.
There should be a warning about him on this and other sites.

Yep Stu! we gotta be positive. Dammit the TWO MP4/4 and the L99T are all GREAT news, as the MP4/2C re-release is. Our new and welcome fellow blue can see at a "complicated" field as he´s assimilating all the history of this in a few days. But if we are to rate if we are, right now, in a g...

Is this something the younger generations even connect with? I'm seeing, from my vantage point in IPMS/USA, that there is growi...

I think its a question of modellers and F1/racing fans diverging. If you look at the most popular model kits on scalemates, it's all aircraft and armour. No cars to speak of, and even less race cars. Why this is, is probably a chicken and egg situation. Less sales means less profit leading to higher...

Nice, but a shame he does not do 1/20th scale...

Ah, in that case, they can forget it
I am not going to chase it..

So, DTM is releasing a Ferrari SF-23 in Singapore guise. (the one time it delivered..) https://www.scalemates.com/kits/dtm-ferrari-sf-23--1516960 Its tempting. One side, it was the only other race winner of 2023, on the other it showed how far away it was and only a rare inspired drive and a stumbli...
