Nothing tops a well-built Model Factory Hiro kit and you really did this one justice. The weathering that you did on the seats and head rest is incredible, how’d do it?

I read that the fellow that owned/ ran MFH recently passed away (sadly at a relatively young age), wonder if this company will continue their operation?

PS - here’s a link that was posted on this forum

The seats are decals (not very well arranged...), and everything is sprayed with matte clear, and soiled with artist oils and Tamiya powders :)

 

MFH is now run by Kyoko Hiro, the widow of the late Mr. Hiro.

Absolutely stunning! Not exactly sure about the logic behind putting the battery & a fuel tank(?) in the passenger door, but I guess you've got to put it somewhere. 

The car was raced with one person. I think the idea was to balance the weight of the left and right sides.
