The F1M Forums

I have built both the mp4 and 643. The detail is much higher on the mp4. The 643 is relatively basic out of the box more of a scaled up 1/12 design. The mp4 is a part works so everything is prepainted and off the sprue. Some parts are done well while others require clean up of mold lines and sprue. ...

I don’t believe there is a difference in the kits, just a different color box. I built the white version and there was no mention of different kit versions in the instructions.

Stunning work. When scratching the brass mount plates how did you cut them to get the even “egg” shape?

Welcome back. I look forward to seeing this build progress. The parts look great

Photobucket has suspended third party hosting. This has impacted many builds on this forum and other sites. Unfortunately you either need to pay photobucket a very large fee or move to another hosting site.

I hope you move to another host site. I am really enjoying this build!

Paul Koo (author of the pocher assembly DVDs) created the set for the Ducati. You can buy directly from him through eBay. He is also selling them thru Autograph, they are the same thing. I have dealt with both Paul and Autograph previously and have had excellent experiences.

There can never be too many pics of a good looking build like this! How has the fit of the resin pieces been? Looks perfect in the pics. Just curious if it required lots of toiling.

The part number would be great! Did you paint the monocoque prior to applying the decal? the decals really bring out the kit engraving details nicely!!

I have this kit and the top studio upgrade in my stash. Top Studio has a great job with the packaging and instructions. Do you know what else they have planned for this kit?

Looks really nice! Are you using scale motor sports decals for the CF pattern? I am also really curious what you and Paul are brainstorming for connectors.
