    1/16th scale sFH 18 Howitzer

    I feel for you Paul. we had a series over here on TV about the day to day work of Airfix and before they put a model on the market they had a guy, not related to the company at all, who would build their models in prototype form and report back, he is also the guy that builds for the photo...

    MFH Matra MS11 F1

    60% so not a problem. Another hot one today but the forecast is down to 80F tomorrow :-) the real problem here with going out is Diesel is the equivalent of $12.75 a gallon and petrol is $10 a gallon, Thanks Donald 🤣

    Found an original MS11 under restoration and it looks to me like that bulkhead should be vertical which would explain my problems, soon fix that :)

    All Righty ... What's on the bench today?

    No wobble Bob but i have to say i bought mine as its essential for MFH models but didnt have a lot of use for one before that .Its the sort of thing you buy off ebay about midnight after you put the whiskey glass down:-)

    I posted a mesage on the MFH build site on FB, not the factory site, you cant post there Anyone built the MFH MS11 ? The instructions dont show where the breather hoses from the rocker boxes go on the D version and the kit doesnt have the 4 hoses ( 2 each side) coming from the body to the...

    All Righty ... What's on the bench today?

    Looks good James , i like it has 1200rpm, if i had to fault mine i would say 900rpm is a bit slow, not a problem, but 1200 would be better.

    about as far as i can go without a chassis to check the mounting points with. I need to drill them on to the engine so it needs to be sitting in the chassis to do that. loads more to do to the engine but this is as far as you can go before the engine mounts disappear behind a wall of ancillaries.

    Bob's Work Bench

    If you think rigging a WnW model is fun, try wiring up one of these 🤣 The value of taking a picture here , it shows a wonky trumpet that needs sorting

    MFH Matra MS11 F1

    You couldn't build a MFH model with a dremel even if you could slow it down. Its just to physically big and clunky . I have three arroxmax drills, a screwdriver and a high speed engraver so the full set :-) Battery life is not a problem, i doubt i have used the engraver (which i use as a...
