Just a little bit of detail work, I spent a few evenings prepping most of the parts. I would have to say this is one of the reasons why I love doing these kits. No need to spend hundreds of dollars on aftermarket parts, when they mostly come with it already. But then again I’ll spent whatever it takes to get the results I’m looking for 😁🤣

The detailing in those pictures even for 1/12 scale is truly amazing. It really shows off your skill level.

I've been following this but I keep forgetting to comment, my apologies. It's looking hyper-realistic as always.
Question: do all these metal parts come looking like this or do you have to polish them up yourself? And what would you use to polish them with?
Cheers Paul

Paul, for a finish like this it is recommended you use a Magnetic Pin type Tumbler , the addition of some NuFinnish car wax will keep the finish for years, but it is a simple method you just have to invest in a tumbler. I have use one a lot helping my buddy do Ammo Reloading. Chris

Chris,
I'm just as usual blown away with the detail, and finish. The left front suspension and brake assembly is a true masterpiece. Honestly, I had to take a good long look to be certain it's not the real deal.
And thank you for the concern about my wife and my health issues. We're holding our own at this point.

Another good reason to keep away from MFH kits (along with the price) and leave the masterpieces to those better equipped (and probably more talented!).  |

If it’s the expense, I can certainly get it, but as far as talent, I get to see some pretty bitchen stuff here 😉😁 |
