Just bought this. Only one kit.

Thanks Chris, and yes I wish the parts came sooner. Interior tub, seat placement. Painted the firewall automotive black. Will have that in soon. Doors finished.

More parts came yesterday on the ford GT.

Hello Josie, yes it seems like it it big.

Mocking up some more parts. Just making sure things line up. Chris is right, you need to look at least 5 steps ahead on these kits.

Thank you sir

Pitts bi- plane

Trying to get some work done on a 1/12 Porsche 917/30 engine. This engine has 1000 hp and can be turned up to 1500 hp. Crazy stuff These mfh kits need a lot of fitting.

Very nice!!!

Thank you Carl. How have you been? Hope all is good for you.

Thank you beeRS

Starting on the motor. Not real fancy. The real motor was mostly black.

Beautiful Chris. Tubes?!

There are no words , it’s beyond spectacular! WOW!!!! Great job

Looks really good! That is a lot of work sir!!!!

Thank you absmiami. Here are the assembled tires and wheels. I am very happy with the results. I usually like to paint the body first then tires and wheels. But with these mfh kits you have to go with the flow of the build. The Ferrari P4 frame seemed to always move around. So you had to modify the body. So you could not paint because of the mods. This build has a tub center section. Should keep it from moving around. I hope.

They look like flowers. Had to clear them.

Hello Funkychicken, yes the tumbler lightly sands the part. If you leave the part in the tumbler for awhile, the part will be polished. . Painted the wheels. They will get clear this afternoon I hope. And yes a long journey sir.

Hello Chris. Here is how I mask the yellow and blue on the wheel. At least in theory. We will find out soon , to see if it works. First time I have used zero paints. Hope it works. The primer I use on white metal. It’s a little expensive but it sticks. You still need to put the white metal in a tumbler to get the release agent off the parts.

Drilled the dimples. Prime then paint yellow then blue , then clear. Then redrill dimples. A lot of work but the wheels and tires will look good.

The fins on the wheels. This will take awhile.

The tires are really good in a mfh kit

The cleanup on the wheels and other parts took several hours. Next is the tumbler. Have to cut out the fins on the wheels. They are photoetch. Install after the tumbler. Prime with acidetch primer. Then paint and clear. This process will take a few days. I builta 1/12 tamiya Ferrari in 9 days. Out of box. These wheels alone will take about the same time. There is a pic of the Ferrari. That’s how intense a model factory hiro kit is. If you guys love detail, get a mfh kit. You will not be disappointed.

Thank you Chris and thank you Ensis. A pic of jb weld ca. For white metal.
