    The working out how its going to fit together is some on the fun with these kits. Adjustments wouldn't work with this white metal, you couldn't even thread it really its that soft . None of the build has any integrity until all parts are in place as each relies on the next bit for support and...

    I have got some of the rear drive on the left here. it took me hours as the hub is basically held in its position by 5 suspension arms that all converge on the stub axel . The trick will be getting the other side symmetrical to this side :-). Everything is very bendy at this stage but once all...

    I'm not sure why, but MFH dont like to make parts of any length , instead they will make 2 parts with a stepped joint in the middle like this an easy upgrade is to cut the joints and fitting off the ends and in this case drill them 1mm , cut a new one piece rod from ally tube and insert 1mm...

    It would look odd Bob, these are 1/12 🤣 Seriously i have considered a backdrop for my bikes and cars but its a project that has been spoiled by AI. Lots of people just superimpose their models on to pictures of tracks or pits but i think if you are going to do that you might as well Take a...

    Quite a difference between the kit and the real thing, especially on the plumbing as the kit doesnt seem to have any clutch hydraulics. Very little of this will ever be seen though

    High noon on D Day

    The BBC barely covered it here. Again not wanting to be political but the BBC is pro EU and the left so dont remember anything thats war or anti German. We do have a TV channel here called GB News thats now the most popular news channel on TV and they covered it live from France and Pegasus...

    I now have all the parts so feeling a lot better about this build. Decals are on and top clears applied so once they go really hard i will try and cut the finish back. I have to say the decals are probably the best i have come across. Very thin but opaque so even white doesnt show the blue...

    A Time of Ugh

    I posted a few weeks ago that there comes a point in life where you need to put yourself first. For some of us that is actually quite a realization and it means decisive decisions. Good luck mate and time spent posting your next build here is always better than time spent being wound up by FB :-)

    It takes some getting used to after armour and aircraft that you need to paint cars and do the decals and clear coats before assembly

    Thanks Paul :) When i was in engineering i made medical and scientific research equipment. Mostly very small volume apart from one machine for recording the speed various thinners etc would evaporate off from paint as part of the drying process. basically it was the difference between paint...
