I see what you are taking about with the 2024 windscreen. I’m wondering if it could be scratch built, but obviously I’d have to see the kit first. Probably wouldn’t be easy.

This is probably an odd comment, but I am OK waiting until they get this right because it appears the DW12 chassis isn’t going anywhere before 2027. https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/motor/2024/03/04/indycar-new-car-hybrid-engine-development-2027-mark-miles-honda-chevy-costs/72808582007/ I’d hav...

They used to include the number of kits to be produced on their website. Usually 200-300 per release. Eg 100 version a, 50 version b, 50 of c

Thanks for passing the info along! That helps me decide when I’m deciding to buy a MFH kit. If it’s something I really like, like the MP4/8, I’ll buy two.

I agree it’s an odd choice given the car didn’t perform particularly well. Perhaps MFH thinks it will sell well in specific markets, possibly Brazil and Japan. Like all MFH kits, even the ones I don’t have interest in, I hope it sells well. I want them to keep producing kits because eventually they ...

I’ll take some pictures later tonight. My opinion so far is that while it does have toylike features, they all can be addressed with cutting, filling and sanding. You have the option of leaving them there and making the kit easier on yourself, or taking them out and getting a more “model kit” like, ...

That looks pretty nice!

I went to the race in St. Louis about a week ago and the Arrows McLarens really look cool in person. Would love to build a speedway and road course version of Rossi’s car (hint for Indycals)

Eric - yes, it’s completely possible to do what you’re referring to. In fact, I imagine this will be the preferred approach for many builders, as the “toylike” features of the model lend itself to this approach. The only thing I don’t know is that there are those post like things on the cowling that...

Super cool! Can’t wait to see what Indycals comes up with!

So far, I’ve had no real fit issues. Fit seems to be pretty good, even the cowling. However, if you look at the underside of the cowling, you can see the four post-like things where the screws lineup from underneath (You can also see a ton of injector marks). I’m going to attempt to remove those pos...

I’m super pumped about a 1/12 MP4/4 in plastic. I got into F1 around 1991 (aged 14), so my preference is cars from about 1989 to mid 2000s. However, over time, I started to watch races from the 1980s and I began to appreciate the era, even though I never saw races in real time. Obviously- the MP4/4 ...
