Anyone here build F1 cars?


TBC

Recommended Posts

I am looking at buying 1/20 detail parts from Hiro Boy for F1 kits. What would be useful to buy, such as shrink tubing, fuel line, zip ties, fittings, etc. What millimeter sizes should I get? Also, I found PDF downloads of various kit builds. Are these useful it terms of detail pics and the best way to assemble and paint the kits?

Colin you know me so well lol

 

And TBC I will link a few of hiroboys products that will be very useful for a 1/20 model

These little sets are a must for any detailing as they have various sizes of connectors and wires plus shrink tube

And finally I've have just picked up a set of these for panels and bodies as they are very small but I've herd they do a great job.

Hope this helps and post you work in the build section as it's always nice to see f1 cars in there.

It all depends on what year your tryi g to replicate. Mfh is more expensive but the quality shows compared to the others. 

 

S27 I think has just bought a range of belts out as well but I haven't tried theses yet but they should be good given the branding.

Thanks again, Shaun. The MFH and Studio 27 sets don't seem to mention which vintage of F1 cars their harness sets are applicable to and I simply cannot tell by looking at them. This Tamiya set: http://www.hiroboy.com/120_F1_Seat_Belt_Harness_Set_A_1970s80s__12637--product--3880.html 

covers the period I am interested in but I don't care for the colours. Would you be able to tell me which of the MFH or S27 sets would be of similar vintage?

Hi TBC,

 

I have a bunch of detail sets hanging around in the stash, I sold off the bulk of my F1 and Group C kit collection some time back, I'll get it all together over the weekend, I might be able to save you a few quid.

 

I'll PM you later.

 

Happy modelling

Ant

I placed an order yesterday with HiroBoy, however, PM me and let me know what you have as I didn't order everything I needed and they didn't have stock on everything I wanted.

 

I am also looking for some rather hard to find/out of production 1:20 detail sets for the Tamiya RA272 kit.

I was going to ask the same question as you, TBC. Let us know how you get on with what you bought, e.g. what proves to be most useful. I've a Tamiya MP4/7 at the top of the pile.
