Re: Fujimi 1/20 McLaren MP4/6 rear suspension Help needed

Thanks. That's what I ended up doing. Haven't mounted the wheels and tires yet, but everything seems to looks square and basically level. I measured both sides and they're within a 1mm of each other. This is my 1st Fujimi F1 kit as all the others have been Tamiya kits since I got back into the hobby...

Fujimi 1/20 McLaren MP4/6 rear suspension Help needed

I'm currently working on the rear suspension of the Fujimi 1/20 McLaren MP4/6, and I'm completely stumped on how to proceed with the build. Each side has 3 separate suspension components, a upper A arm, a Lower A arm and one alignment rod (?). The top A arms seems to position itself as perfectly squ...

Re: Hasegawa Ferrari 312T2 - You guys are rubbing off on me

Sure looks like you're off to a great start. Being a OOB guy myself, your build just might get me to start to do some basic detailing.

And Michael, thanks for the tip on that bead wire. I've struggled with all sorts of Mono fishing line, and gave up as it's just to stiff to work with.

Re: Another One Bites The Dust

Sad but unfortunately so true. No matter how hard I try to support the few LHS near me, I find myself forced back to shopping and buying nearly everything online. New releases are months and even years before they bother to get them, paints never restocked in a timely manner, and their prices contin...

Re: Revell F10 at IPMS Telford

While I build in different scales for different types of race cars/cars, I've resisted mixing scales within the same class, but I'm slowly moving away from that philosophy. Sometimes I've just wanted to do a simple, easy curbside build, and don't want to spend a lot for the kit, nor do I want to &qu...
