Re: October MFH 1/12 full-detail news
How about the Toblerone !?...does somebody know if it's the "same" car. I mean are the dimensions of the bodywork the same. If so I would only need to scratch those skirts on the rear and the headlamps. Decals are no problem...should be an interesting project.

Re: October MFH 1/12 full-detail news
Since they have worked together before, I'm surprised Studio27 doesn't make a couple of options for the 1/12th kits. So many possible versions for cars like the 908, 962,956,etc.

Re: October MFH 1/12 full-detail news
Hm, after looking a bit into this (say, a quick googleage) I'd say the #20 Salzburg car should be possible with version A. I'm thinking this might be the first MFH that I'm actually building. Why? Because for once the body doesn't have a complex curvature that, if you need to match the curvature of the doors in 3 dimensions to match that of the body around it, is a very trying (and beyond my current patience tolerance levels) job. No, this one is easy on the doors. Plus I can finally do some material studies on the bodywork. And of course the frame is basically a 917 frame - well it's the other way around, obviously - which I have spent some considerable amount of time studying and drawing (if I can find the bleeping scale plans I made after moving all my stuff around). Yay!
Cheers,
Roman

Re: October MFH 1/12 full-detail news
Not thought this 100% through, however, version A comes with the necessary numerals to be used as "templates", so I think scanning and printing. Add in either some mumbo jumbo like photoetching a stencil (after all I should have a slightly larger than an A4 scanner sized UV lighting device I bought a while ago) or, If not that, scan the original numerals and have them printed by one of the regular after market options (indycals or the guy Christian keeps using / reommending). Similar story with the stripes, although I would probably create those using masking tape as templates and spraying them on rather than applying decals. -- All of this is just thinking out loud.
Cheers,
Roman

Hmmm - for me: looks like upscaled 1/24 kit. I.e.: The drive shaft is make in one piece like on the 1/24 kit.

Re: October MFH 1/12 full-detail news
Well the whole chassis just got posted. For those able to bring the translucent parts to life, this will be awesome. Has MFH surpassed Tamiya as the most prolific 1/12 scale company? I think that makes Hiro proud.
