ICM 1:48 HP.52 Hampden B.Mk.I - Review and build !

Ricardo Veríssimo · June 3Jun 3

ICM 1:48 HP.52 Hampden B.Mk.I Churchill’s “Flying Suitcase” With the new look and renewed activity of the forum, I’ll be making a (gradual) change to the way I’ve been presenting my reviews. I will continue doing reviews, but this time as full build logs straight from the box. I’m not exactly an internationally renowned modeller (although at home I’m very well known!), and when this opportunity came up, I was genuinely excited—almost like a modelling rebirth, as I currently feel in a state of

MFH MS11 1/12

Paddy · May 16May 16

My first build here :-) lets see how it goes. This is a Matra Simca F1 car from 1968. The usual mix of plastic and white metal from MFH. My first problem here is finding reference pictures because MFH has produced an MS11 chassis with a MS9 engine which is correct but nearly all surviving cars seem to have an MS12 engine as above. Anyway thats a detail but it does mean that i will have to guess some details, not least engine colour. This is a strange choice from MFH here but it should be not

As my variety is the spice of life thread seemed to go down quite well i thought i might try another 😀 People usually build to the box art or maybe build and change the decals but here is an idea that can get you thinking , 2 models 2 different finishes. This is Italeri s 1/12 Fiat 806 And here it is again Take 2.......you get the idea Italeri's Harley WLA 1/9 Italeri Alfa 8C Italeri Triumph 3HW 1/12 Italeri Mephistopheles 1/12 now with mudguards lights and spare wheel

Brabham BT52b - The Guided Missile - Model Factory Hiro - 1/12 - Finished

DocRob · 6 hours ago6 hr

Welcome to my first finished kit of LSM MK. II. Overall the Brabham BT 52b was an enjoyable build, with only a few negative aspects. When finishing a MFH kit, I´m always a bit proud, but also a bit annoyed by myself, because of the errors I made and the shortcuts I took. In the end, the guided missile looks good and I think, it is the nicest car of the turbo era, where many oddities where racing around. I listed some positives and negatives about the kit in a list.

Did you get any new kit or other modelling related goodies today or recently? We all like so show our new stuff, so please share it with us. I know this is an odd scale, and the surface is a little questionable (!) but hey, who cares! Darren

Fiat Abarth 695- Italeri 1/12

FG2Si · yesterday at 02:08 AM1 day

A few years ago, Italeri released a 1/12 model of the classic Fiat 500. They then followed it up with the sportier Abarth 695 version which I picked up. The box Art depicts the racing version with the wide fender flares and propped open trunk to assist in cooling the engine. I'll be doing mine as a street version but with the fenders. Even in 1/12 scale, it's not a big car. First up, I built the engine. The fit is okay, but there's a fair number of sink marks to take care of. Here's the com

Doogs resin tracks (Now updated)

Belugawhaleman · May 27May 27

Found this site. Looks promising😀 https://doogsstudios.com/ I ordered a set of T-41 tracks. ( EBAY) Will post photos when I get them. They offer a good variety of tracks for the Sherman and even the Stuart. Worth a look, I think. I've now updated this with pics of the contents of my T-41 tracks order. The kit includes assembly tools and is shipped with the parts (and tools) in 3D printed, slide top boxes. Here's a picture of the track parts:

ICM 1:48 HP.52 Hampden B.Mk.I - Review and build !

Time for painting!
At last, we move on to painting the interior parts!

Although there is quite a large area to cover, much of it will not be visible, so I’ll be focusing on the most prominent sections, such as the cockpit and the gun positions.
The primer used was Mr Surfacer Black, thinned with Mr Levelling Thinner. Once dry, it provides a smooth, even, satin finish.

After it had fully cured, I applied the interior colour (Interior Grey-Green), also from Gunze and thinned with Levelling Thinner. As with the primer, once dry it results in a uniform, satin surface.

At this stage, I also painted the frames of the transparent parts.

I’m very pleased with the results so far, and will now move on to painting the smaller details and applying the decals on the pilot instrument panels.
Thanks for watching!

MFH MS11 1/12

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 5 arms are in position the whole thing becomes quite solid. A small bend on 1 part does throw the whole thing out.

Can´t really tell, which is my favorite, they are all beautiful duos. Maybe the cut off Fiat, which looks very special. I thought about double builds, different outcome as well, but decided against, as I don´t like repetition, but I can really acknowledge it.

Brabham BT52b - The Guided Missile - Model Factory Hiro - 1/12 - Finished

Welcome to my first finished kit of LSM MK. II. Overall the Brabham BT 52b was an enjoyable build, with only a few negative aspects.
When finishing a MFH kit, I´m always a bit proud, but also a bit annoyed by myself, because of the errors I made and the shortcuts I took. In the end, the guided missile looks good and I think, it is the nicest car of the turbo era, where many oddities where racing around.
I listed some positives and negatives about the kit in a list.

Good:
- Super detailed kit, with no need for AM
- Great decals, opaque enough to cover the dark blue body.
- Realistic looking carbon fiber decals with fitting paper templates to cut.
- Pre printed tyres
- Blue tinted vac windshield
- Aluminum rims with cast metal inserts.
- Choice of braking types with carbon or steel discs
- All parts for two different rear wing options included (see bad)
- No parts missing (Seems to be self evident, but is not with MFH kits)
Bad:
- The manual is poor for wiring, often not showing, where the wires leading
- Some larger resin parts, like cockpit tub didn´t fit the side fairings, which lead to problems
- Many bent metal parts and not only the flimsy ones
- The real heavy rear part with engine, … is only fixed by a tiny screw. Careful handling of the finished kit is necessary.
- White decals where marred on the surface. No prob under clear coat, but on the windscreen
- No decals for the small rear wing version included, despite supplying all the parts for it.
- No parts list supplied, which is really needed. You can print it from the MFH page in bad quality, which keeps you guessing at times.

Not kit related:
Number Five BT52 white paint is way off and unusable, I used MP4 white instead, which matched the decals.

Pics, pics, pics:

Cheers Rob

Fiat Abarth 695- Italeri 1/12

Thanks Rob! The kit reminds me of a '70s vintage Tamiya 1/12 kit. The parts fit isn't bad but some parts need a careful cleanup of seams and even mating surfaces. It's not helped by them being moulded in silver and black.

What did you receive recently? Share it with us.

After spending a summer a couple years ago listening to my boys argue about which was the better tank, StuG III or Panzer IV, I broke down and picked up a BluRay of Girls Und Panzer.

Nothing like watching a Panzer IV do a bootlegger turn.
