Soo.... What did you just get???

[DocRob]

More Italian stuff, I must be infected . The Ferrari is the only so called hybrid in the MFH universe until know. Hybrid means, it´s a multi media kit like the others, but has a "normal" polystyrene body on sprues instead of resin body parts, which makes the kit noticeable cheaper than others of the same producer.
This is a re-release, which sports new Cartograph decals and was up on the MFH page only for one day, then was sold out. I missed it there, but luckily Spotmodel had one left.



To fill the carton , I ordered some paints from Number Five and Zero Paints for different car projects, as well as a small picture reference book about the Ferrari 250 GTO and some resin and metal detail parts for other kits.



Cheers Rob

Nice additions Rob. I was on the Spotmodel site recently looking

for  some 1/12 buckles... nice site. I hope you do a build of that kit on

here....or that Tamiya Alfa. I would like to see how an automotive finish

is done with details like; Which airbrush Nozzle size,  air pressure, paint to

thinner ratio, surface prep, and etc.

Rob, I have the same kit but the original release. 

Besides the regular plastic body shell, I think  mine has a diecast chassis rather than white metal. I'll have to double check that.

One of my favourite F1 cars ever, please do a WIP.

Still remember Villeneuve's lap at Zandvoort with 3 wheels. Perfect example of his unique mix of genius and lunacy.

Thank you Paul, this will not be my very next build, unfortunately, but with MFH kits, you have to buy them, when they are available or they might be gone forever or are in the hand of scalpers.
I have not that much experience with car body finishes, I only built three, but will continue with the Cobra Coupe, after the GB and painting the body is one of the next steps.

You may be right Carl, I only browsed through the contents of the box quickly. It looks like this:

I will do a WIP Gus, but not so soon. I like the car, but it is not one of my favorites and I have to do some research about it as well. Seemed to have been racing, before I developed a slight interest int F1.

Thanks Rob . I do like seeing your purchases. Always great stuff!

I'll be watching when finish that Cobra Daytona....a spectacular build that

will no doubt end in a beautiful model. I'm eager to build an automotive

subject. In my case a Tamiya 1/24 late Thirties Toyoda sedan that I have and I was looking for suggestions on how to do the finish. Any tips for

doing that Anyone?

That chassis/tub looks like the one. A big piece of metal.

More anime/sci-fi kits. 

The first is the Asuka from Star Blazers

It's a support ship and is a variant of the Dreadnought class ship I built earlier. 

Next up is from one of the Macross sequels. 

Looking at the parts, this thing is tiny! 1/100 scale.

FINALLY found a supplier in Portugal where I could buy a CO2 cylinder for my airbrushes.  It’s been like looking for unicorn shoes.  And of course US and EU nozzle threads are a different size, so I have to buy a new regulator.  Because of course they are….

Glad you found what you needed. As for me I use a small airbrush compressor Purchased from a nearby Harbor Freight. I didn't expect much from

it but has proved itself to be excellent, reliable and well made. Like you

I had to struggle with the pipe fittings setting it up. I bought a set of

fittings and a regulator off Amazon....problem solved. Hope you get

everything working and I look forward to seeing your builds.
