1/12 MFH Mclaren MP4/8

Post by Sennafan »

Ok so the Senna collection is in full swing now

Image

Completed

97T
MP4/4
MP4/5B
FW16B

In process

99T
98T
MP4/6 - thank you Leftkeys
MP4/8
Toleman TG184

Need

MP4/5
MP4/7
.......

Without further ado

Typical offering now from MFH

Resin

Underpan, most body parts cowling and monocoque, front and rear wings, seat, tub, engine block and tranny

WM

Front suspension cover (again should be resin as is more complicated under piece) suspension arms, suspension shocks and ancillaries, intakes, bulkheads, valve covers, engine details, fittings, electrical connections, 1 piece rotors

Rubber parts

Decals look great plus ciggies

Machined aluminum and anodized wheels and axle stubs and nuts

Rain tires excellent

So here are pics

Parts count not as high as previous kits

Paint TS26 and 36

Wheels are just beautiful just need decals

Image

Image

Other resin parts, beautiful castings

Image

Engine

Image

Nicely engineered with separated back monocoque piece

Image

So the reason for delays in other builds

Two reasons,

1 kids destroyed upstairs toilet and plumbing which destroyed floor in my model room

2. Wife wanted me to re model room anyway

So IKEA special, got a raising desk and these wonderful cabinets which hold a lot of models

Image

Image

And yes there are a few I still haven’t photographed for the forum

Fixed and yes need 98T

Still trying to find one for a reasonable price ,was 62,000 Yen originally

Almost thought about just buying a 97T and modifying the key visible changes

Have you contacted MFH directly to see if they can sell you a 98T?
