The F1M Forums

With the recent announcement from Meng of a 1/12 MP4/4, I thought I'd post this finished 1/9 Meng model for those not familiar with what Meng can put out.

My first time building a Meng kit, loved the subject and Meng was the only game in town for this, I was very pleased and even surprised with the quality of the kit, I've built well over 100 Tamiya, Hasegawa and Fujimi kits and this was right up there with the best of them, very high standard of part clarity, size and fit, this was a pleasure to build and I was delighted with the finish, all CF (there is a lot) was included in the kit. I added a few nuts, washers and bolt heads to cover the visible philips screws heads used to secure parts and panels (I hate building a nice model of the real thing only to be left with ugly philips screw heads which are not on the real thing... Hasegawa I notice are best at this and don't leave screw heads visible, while Tamiya still persists with the mini screwdriver assembly)

So personally, I would expect nothing less than the same level of parts sharpness and build quality with the 1/12 MP4/4.

Finished Model:

Nice and clean work, love it!

Nice, I have built this one too

Better engineered than Tamiya, PE included, decals were amazing, most parts requiring separate color are separate

You could have used my chain set

Where do you sell these, interested

Beautifully built kit! I have this one in the stash so its nice to see one so well built. I love the 1/9 scale bike kits, they are big enough scale that my old eyes can see. I'd be interested to see where this chain can be gotten as well.

Superb model, congrats!

Beautiful work Steven, you were right about the CF too, tons of it !!

Cheers, Paul
