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

FW190- ZM A-4 and a Revell A-8

FG2Si · May 25May 25

These were started a little while back. They then got lost on my bench while I worked on whatever had my fleeting attention. So, having finished the F-16 my bench is ready to get these done. The ZM kit is much further along with the cockpit done, fuselage closed up and the majority of the wings completed as well as the engine. The Revell one has the wings started, the fuselage halves together, and the engine mostly complete.

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

Duchess of Kingston - Wooden Sailing Yacht 1778 - Vanguard Models - 1/64

DocRob · Friday at 05:24 PM2 days

This build has been started some years ago. The reason, I post it again are twofold, one reason being to add another aspect of modelling to LSM Mark II and on the other hand to motivate myself to finish the build, which stalled with rigging. The name giving Duchess was a very interesting person, to say the least. In her later years, she owned the ship of the same name as a yacht, cruising the Atlantic, the Mediterranean and the Baltikum in it. Elizabeth Pierrepont, Duchess of Kingston-upon-Hu

David Enders · May 14May 14

This was a thread on the old site before the crash. So, I bought this shirt at the EAA museum in 2024, right before NATS in Madison, WI. And I've been wearing it to shows but I don't have a P-40 on the shelf. So when Sprue had a sale a while back, I bought the Great Wall Hobbies kit. Since the shirt has && on it, I've been planning on building 77. Some of the AM that I've bought for it. And some of the progress on it. Cockpit area mostly. Ready to close up the fuselage. Added

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

DocRob · May 13May 13

After finishing my Unicorn Gundam, I chose to continue with another Japanese super kit. The started log was lost in the gone forum and I will continue here. The BT52b was a successful design, winning the world championship drivers title with Nelson Piquet in 1983. It was the turbo era and the BT52b was the most powerful of all formula One cars until today and could generate up to 1500 horsepower in qualification mode. That came with a price, making the car difficult to drive with it´s turbo lag.

MFH MS11 1/12

Thanks chaps, i will do an inventory tomorrow . I think its an age thing, i retired last year and i find i have all the patience in the world for people with problems or life situations ....but with things like this where there is not just a small mistake, like a damaged part or a part that dropped off a sprue and didnt make the box :-) but a complete cock up i tend to lean towards " life is too short " and move on.

I will do an inventory as i say and go from there. Its pretty obvious this is either the kit that they used to scavenge for spare parts or it just missed a whole packing section. All the parts missing are the parts that make it Version D which has different oil coolers and a rear wing etc unlike the other versions, also the 7 parts i already ordered were all version D

MFH MS11 1/12

I had missing (and damaged beyond repair) parts in my Bt52 kit, MFH did quickly sort me out though. I’ve just inventoried my Ferrari 500 f2 and all is accounted for, luckily.
I need to do my 131 rally kit next, hopefully that will all be present and correct.
Great build Paddy, it’s coming on really well! Don’t give up, I followed your Abarth 1000 build over on the other forum and you did a great job of it

MFH MS11 1/12

I've had issues with incomplete kits from MFH before as well. To be fair, they have been very good about replacing them. It's a bit surprising that with the cost of the kits, there isn't better quality control. They also really should post pictures of all the parts required for the kit so that buyers can check the kits on arrival - otherwise it takes hours to check the necessary parts just going by the kit instructions.
I agree with Rob - you've got a great start on a fantastic subject. Just hang in there.

MFH MS11 1/12

That´s sad to hear and poor quality control from MFH. Are you really sure to give up on the beauty. Maybe taking a pause and evaluating the situation helps.
I always check all the parts of MFH kits against the manual and parts printouts, before I start. I had no missing parts with my 12 large scale kits, not a single rivet, but my eyes were sore after checking. What I haven´t looked in are two 1/20 kits and two 1/43 kits. The 1/20 kits are a bit older and I fear older MFH kits are prone to missing parts.

Cheers Rob

Oh dear, more hold ups. I am expecting the 7 missing parts Tuesday however i now find i am missing other parts including the complete radiators/oil coolers and plumbing. Also the rear wing and its bracketry . I will now have to go through the complete parts list and the parts i have but TBH i am thinking of just writing this build off. Not a great start to my arrival here. I promise i will build something eventually :-)

FW190- ZM A-4 and a Revell A-8

So far, they're very comparable. The ZM details are a bit more refined compared to the Revell but the fit on both has been very good. I'm really happy about that with the Revell kit as their 262 had some fit challenges.

I managed to get the seats out of both cockpits and fixed the belt placement.

I was happy that I don't break the buckles as the Wako ones are plastic rather than PE.
Back into their respective cockpits.
