1/12 MFH Mclaren MP4/8
Ok so the Senna collection is in full swing now
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
Other resin parts, beautiful castings
Engine
Nicely engineered with separated back monocoque piece
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
And yes there are a few I still haven’t photographed for the forum
