However maybe it sold well and MFH have decided to repeat the exercise. However one would imagine that the natural demand for duplicated subjects is bound to be lower than normal.
While that is true for most, I think it might not fit the speciality builds MFH offers. Honestly, I am still waiting for
Brian Fawcett, if he ever gets around to it, to build a Lotus 49 in 1/12. A year or more ago we had been talking
about his plans to that end. And even with MFH's offering out there, I would get his as the ultimate version. And
maybe others would too.
Also Re the 934 and 935 big scale Ts. Honestly, I've been eyeballing them for some time, well years if I'm honest,
but I cannot bring myself to pay the asking prices knowing the kit was sold for half. Yes I know the spiel about
supply and demand. But if I have to pay 1/3 to 1/2 half of a plastic kit, I might as well fork out twice or three
times that for a full detail multimedia kit. But that's just me.

Other than that, I have no insight into this month's 1/12 model.

As for the 1/20th, I guess it's a 250F, with two different versions of the knock offs, maybe Moss's 54 car and one
of a million other versions ;)
Cheers,
Roman

For me is Porsche-911-Carrera-RSR-2.1 turbo... has some parts close to 935 at the rear (tube structureand arms) and has the bridge for steering at the front of the chassis. Also vented brakes in front

Well the 911 has been done in a lot of variations already in kit form so it makes sense Hiro would also do one. I just hope they do a better job on it than they did on the Daytona with one body for many variations and glue on flares plus the very poorly done tires wich are downright wrong. They need to get back to doing better research as they are rushing kits out to fast and making a lot of mistakes. An $800.00 kit should not have any mistakes!! If they keep it up a lot of people will stop buying their kits.

It has more to do with being $800 than tire profiles for me. If it's not a 936/78 or a 935/78...then a Gt1/98 would sure be pretty. I'd have to sell kits before I buy another 1/12th.
