  1. I wish they would do the engine and chassis as well, but MFH doesn't do much more for some of their offerings and a lot more money. These are the ALpha kits I have so far, plus the HD 599 GTO transkit that was eliminated by the Revell kit
  2. You know, for some time I was wondering if there was a relationship, given your last name On this list, likely the P1 and M4. RS6 Avant DTM is hopefully coming out soon.
  3. Yes on the 812 GTS as well
  4. Maybe. I originally was saving for a project I had in mind, but now not likely to go that way
  5. I, too, am surprised by the number of McLarens. I would love to see a Roma, SF90 and SP1/SP2 even though the latter is not legal for road use in the USA. I would also have loved for them them to do a transkit to take the Fujimi F12 to a F12 TdF. They indicated there would be more Porsche variants, so the RS is a possibility. Time will tell, I guess. I wonder if Tamiya might do a SF90, given their run of Ferrari hypercars?
  6. Here is the other part of the decal sheet that I found in a YouTube video. Hope this helps your quest
  7. They appear to be from this kit. This is essentially 2 sets that I wound up getting when our Club got a large stash of decal sheets that Revell was throwing out.
  8. I think that is from a Revell kit. Need to check my stash to see
  9. Not yet. Coming attractions. I think the Porsche may be close along with the not displayed RS6 Avant
  10. The McLarens and Porsche not much interest, except, possibly the P1. The Bimmer looks interesting. Would be nice if they did some 4 door sport sedans, especially since they are coming out the RS6 Avant. But, the wallet does cringe with this type of goody list
  11. It'll do until a detail kit arrives (if ever). Seems specialty stuff like the C8, newer Ferraris, etc are diescat or diecast like resin that are curbside. Plan is to strip the paint and detail the interior and?
  12. Still waiting on the missing decals.
  13. Built kit per the above link Actual car Real car is a Series 1 Coupe from 1964
  14. Have you searched Shapeways to see if these exist? Or did you buy or design a part file?
  15. I was referring to the Aoshima kit not the 1:1
  16. If I recollect correctly, these are only Right Hand Drive
  17. Rather than go downstairs and open my Heller E-Type Roadster kit up, I checked online and see that only the soft top appears to be included.
  18. A bit finicky, but not too bad. Plastic hinge pins are problematic though.
  19. Mine was in Limbo for about 2 1/2 weeks and then popped up on the "radar". I set USPS tracking notification as it came from Chicago to the Pacific Northwest.
  20. About as close as I see that is readily available are these: https://www.hiroboy.com/124_16_SSR_Formula_Mesh_Wheels--product--7651.html
  21. On Wang Wei, Hobby Design, page. He posts updates on upcoming stuff. A Modern Porsche is also in the works. https://www.facebook.com/Hobbydesign.Dream/posts/156038265996321
  22. They actually have them on their website. Here is the link to the truck instructions https://an-modeltrucks.com/downloads/power-w-2500-pickup-truck-full-resin-kit-1-24/
  23. Back around 2010, Fiat released a Ferrari tribute version of its 500 Abarth. I guess, the ultimate Abarth version. Fujimi released a version of it back in 2010. I wound up getting one, along with the Hobby Design detail set for it. It has languished on the shelf for some time, but I recently pulled it out, thinking this would be a nice, basic build. I have gotten into the mode of wanting to do more unique builds and consider this to be such. The kit is curbside, and I have no notion to do otherwise. As is typical with Fujimi in later models, the body and interior are basic 500 Abarth, thus requiring some "tweaking". Fortunately, the Hobby Design detail has the pieces to make the corrections. Interiors are black, with aluminum floor panels (Thank you Hobby Design), ala some Ferrari special models. Also, a paddle shift is included with transmission buttons (Thank you again Hobby Design). I added additional interior detail, including seat belts. A technique I use, at times, for shoulder belts is to attach them to a clear plastic extension that allows me to position them on the B-pillar. I keep the clear plastic the same width as the belt, so it blends in. The body needs work as the body side moldings need to be sanded off before the 695 body mods can be attached. I am planning to do this in Italian Red and keep a Euro-Spec car.
