Hello. My name is Patrick. And I am addicted to spending my money on F1 kits.
I am about to put a 100 Euro deposit on the newest offering in 1/12th from MFH... a McLaren M19A. I know... I know... I said it was over after I sold the Tamiya McLarens... but I guess I lied to you all and to myself.
Amazing as it is to say, I actually miss building that frame, engine, suspension. And since I will be one of the first here, I won't be able to rely on others for guidance except to remember the lessons learned and to read ahead.
Kit should be available end of month or first of next month.
At least this one is base color white so it does have that advantage.
Lord, help me.

Do you really think we can help? I made a New Year Resolution of no new kits in 2023. In the first 2 weeks of the year I have already broken it twice  That McLaren is a cool looking classic race car. |

That seems to be the problem here, tato... and it is amazing that because of the degree of difficulty of the Ferrari, I want to see if I learned anything! Like reading and anticipating! Now you know why I make no resolutions... I know I am weak! LOL! |

Next year resolution is to make no resolutions. And how about the most classic of them all? I'm not starting any new projects until I finish those in process... Yeah, right! |

I placed my pre-order for that kit the day they announced the kit number. Why don't you buy direct from MFH? It's cheaper that way and they get it to you within 3-4 days of recieving payment. Plus you get origami with it that way.  |

Based on the current exchange rate, the M19 will cost $544. When I buy direct, they give me a discount which usually is the same as the shipping. So the M19 will probably cost me under $600

Just use the contact button at the top and say you want to pre-order the M19. That's what I usually do
