Re: Australian GP - McLaren withdrawal

Well in the 90's there were only 15-16 races. Which I personally think was better. But starting the season in May they could still do 2 races per month,until September/October.

Re: Bending Resin Parts?

I used steam from a boiling kettle but only small amounts to bend the resin grilles which were out of shape bent and had to straighten them.

Hugo,
Interesting comments on the doors.
I managed to get mine to fit quite reasonably on the 917 but it took a bit of time!
I taped them down for a week or two which seems to help!

The cockpit looks lower on the real car than the model the driver is sitting lower in the car its half way down the rear tire,
Am not sure of the shape seems more curved on the real car although I guess this could be the weight of the driver!

Re: November 2019 MFH 1/12 news

Oh I would love the Delta. Great car and lots of technics to show. Same with the S4 and 037. Love them more than another Ferrari, McLaren or lotus. But at the end all of them are expensive. Too expensive for me. Have to concentrate on the real big wishes. Christian, Think your correct the prices se...

Re: Fish eyes

Rub down the body to a smooth finish and then give a coat of filler primer and rub down.
Use this process until you are satisfied and then primer and paint as normal! 8)
