Re: 1/20 Stewart Ford SF3 1999

Hi Dede, You have been busy !! The MP4/13 is such a versatile base kit, it lends itself to several conversions without too much trouble as you have shown here with your excellent SF3. A few minor mods here and there, but was there any change needed to the suspension components or rear wing? Great to...

Re: Cataracts

Hi Malcolm, You may need to investigate options now that your eyesight has been altered. Like Eric has already indicated, a magnifying visor may be an option, but I would suggest having a chat with your local optometrist and discuss your requirements as far as modelling is concerned. You may end up ...

Re: New Rule on Selling Non-Physical Items

Good call Eric,

There’s been quite a lot of this type of offer appearing on several FB forums recently.

Is the removal of the post under your decision only, or can we Mods lock the offending post?

Re: 3D Printed Tires For 1/12 Tamiya

Nice post Tim, thank you for sharing this clip. The Japanese vendor in this YouTube clip is displaying some very interesting products. It would be great if he could sell these items worldwide, I expect he’d get a lot of business.

Re: MP4/2C: THE ALL PURPOSE Italeri 1/12 THREAD!

Hi all. Very pleased to see Italeri re-issue this particular kit. Despite any inaccuracies listed, its reassuring to know that the basic bones of the kit are decent enough to warrant buying the kit in the first place. All sorts are changes can be made to address any inaccuracies - look no further th...

Re: PLASTIC Upcoming F1 Releases 2023

Hi all, If my memory is correct, when Aoshima / Beemax / Nunu first announced they were creating their 1:12 Lotus 99T there was also mention somewhere of a 1:12 McLaren MP4/4.

Re: Tamiya Lotus 107 & Studio 27 decals

Hi Dave, Don't often get to see such a superb example of a built 107, let alone with a fully painted livery. Thank you for sharing these images, they help explain the shortcomings that the yellow / darker yellow areas suffer from when using the kit decals. Great work mate !! Cheers, Paul Sydeny, Oz
