Well wroth reading before building it. I have the MFH 1/20th Kit of the Prototype salted away. I must build it sometime. H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seanrgb Posted July 30, 2008 Author Share Posted July 30, 2008 Cheers Ian Well Well Well ..I feel a right dunce now , this time round I made up those exhaust pipes And the fit perfectly to the engine block ..so a bit of painting today ..and some progress pictures later on Now has anyone by any chance ..bit of a long shot ..got the instructions for the 1/20 1976 model of this kit as there is a few differences between the 1976(one I wish to build ) and 1977 (the kit I have ) cars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Hooded Claw Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Now has anyone by any chance ..bit of a long shot ..got the instructions for the 1/20 1976 model of this kit as there is a few differences between the 1976(one I wish to build ) and 1977 (the kit I have ) cars Not that many if you build the Monaco car as it ran with 1976 bodywork and an earlier highdownforce wing. After that 1977 gets complicated. I have quite a bit of photographic reference for the 1976 car but little for '77. Which race do the decals represent? Send me a scan of the decal instructions and I'll take a look at them and my kits and see what I can recommend. H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hooded Claw Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 I don't think the decals will be the '76 Japanese GP car as that had a totally different rear wing mount kind of a girder work structure. Like I said scan me the instruction and I'll tell you whats what from my references THC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
