Your momentum is strong my master! Did you paint the frame? Or is it natural? Looking real nice!

Paul, Both the rear and front end sub assemblies look amazing. I'm just blown away both by the complexity of the details, and your skills in assembling that mass number of parts.
Honestly, I've shied away for years on end from even attempting a Tamiya 1/12 scale build as I just don't have the confidence that I could get through even a 100% OOB build.

This is a very intricate model indeed. I can see where most folks wouldn’t even consider building something as detailed out as this kit looks like. Hats off to you Paul for your skills as well as your diligence.

But after seeing your attention to detail in your Ebbro F2 build, I know you could easily handle a Tamiya 1/12th. This is a very intricate model indeed. I can see where most folks wouldn’t even consider building something as detailed out as this kit looks like. Hats off to you Paul for your skills as well as your diligence. Thanks Joe. I'm not so sure about the skills, but I will agree to the diligence. I think, like some of us here have said, we are our own worse critic. What you see as amazing, I see as a bunch of little mistakes that I know I could have done better. Now your just showing off!!!😁 OK.....I'll try not to do that............LOL 2728

I look at some of my builds and think to myelf, "Yuck!!!" I see misaligned parts, paint blemishes and all that stuff and yet get great feedback on most of my builds. We are indeed, our very own worst critic.

I'm starting to seriously want a MFH kit. My wife will kill me.

Just a comment on Joel's post, but he could easily build a 1/12th. I find them easier to build properly. I'm impressed when I see guys like Joel make a 1/24th look like it's a 1/12th!!

Paul, Thanks for your vote of confidence. but nearly all the time it's the kit that makes the difference. I'm just the guy working the tube of glue. Joel

Oh my... this is a great build.
And you've got me jonesing for an MFH kit AGAIN! Thanks! But now that the wife is back at work, we get the new lawn tractor paid off, new blinds installed, and the taxes paid... maybe I'll have some leftover money!

OMG !! Does that 908/3 ever look amazing.
the front brake hoses really add a lot to that area, and the engine/trans in the rear tube frame is just mind boggling!! As for the body panels they look so much better with a coat of paint on them.
