MCM Ohana

MCM Ohana (6/6)

  1. thanks for the comments and feedback. With the wheels supplied in kit , the front tire looked like a rubber band. Hard to capture in a photo but the tire size doesn't look bad on a HRM kit. The MFH kit has huge fender openings. As far as stance, you would have to modify suspension some what at step 2 . this picture of a MFH 1/24 427 Cobra better shows the too low profile of front tire and same tire supplied in 289 comp Cobra kit. As you can see in JC photos the number 15 and 14 didn't have low profile front tires.
  2. went with a slightly bigger front tire to fill up fender well
  3. thanks Pierre. Yah, i would love to see a 289 Comp Cobra in 1/12 by MFH. The 1/24 kit is very challenging and although the 1/12 has a lot more parts, the fit and detail makes for a much more enjoyable build. A look at at the different steering wheels. The 1/12 has pins that go through the steering wheel . The brown paint has sucked up the clear and will need another coat.
  4. a small update and some advice. Not a big deal, but the kit does not come with lower radiator (pipe) hose. I made one and wasn't to hard. If i would have know before hand i would have made hose and installed before i glued engine to chassis. If not , prepare for some f-bombs like i dropped.
  5. Thanks Ray. The most detail i have done on a firewall. I hope it's wired correctly !
  6. i skipped ahead a couple steps to finish the dash. the kit comes with clear plastic lens for the gauges. they didn't look so good when installed so i went with something i have tried before. a 2 part clear resin by Art Resin. drys super slow and easy to work with.
  7. thanks for all the comments and positive feedback. To be honest, i don't know what Brass Black is used for normal use. It is a mild acid and when applied to brass it will turn it black. I built a 1/8 scale Gurney Eagle engine model kit a while back and the kit supplied brass bolts. Another modeler suggested Brass Black for the bolts . Gave the bolts a black metal look. Not really intended for aluminum and was an experiment that went ok. the wheel inserts are painted with Mr Metal Color iron 212 and rubbed with a paper towel after paint has dried. it will make the edges a bit shiney.
  8. The aluminum rims supplied in kit look great for a show car,but not so realistic for a race car. Dulled rims by scuffing with a red 3m scuff pad and with a Q-tip rubbed some Brass Black on rims and quickly wiped off with a paper towel.
  9. thanks for all the comments and feedback. Very happy with the kit so far. Love the large scale ! Sorry MFH , no advertising on this one.
  10. Great project Pierre ! Chaparrals didn't win a lot of races, but they sure did look good.
  11. nice work Gary, very cool project ! Love the look of the Ford J car. This is one of many future projects.
  12. finally finished step 1 ! kit does not come with coil and spark plug boots, so i added my own,
  13. front and rear suspension done. this part was a little tricky to align arms and install tiny screws and bolts.
