Vinegaroon9 Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 I finished this kit after several months of work. It was a difficult build, and definitely has its flaws, but overall I am happy with it. I had been waiting for some time in the hopes that MFH would release a 1/12 917/30, as I think it is one of the all time coolest racing cars. I figured it was in the vein of the sorts of kits MFH produces, and ultimately my wait paid off. Thanks for looking. 37 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitkent Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 One of my favourite race cars too! This is outstanding and should be in a museum…Did you add anything? Or do they supply literally everything? Great stuff! Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MFH includes the major plumbing parts for example, but none of the smaller stuff or much wiring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOUSTON Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 (edited) That Engine with fine intricate work is absolutely STUNNING and magnificent to see. The color pops with its RESPLENDENT look to it. Kudos. Edited April 29, 2022 by HOUSTON Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nearsightedjohn Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 I’m in awe of you you guys who can build these MFH kits, that engine compartment is unbelievably! I got to see the 1:1 of this car driven at a historic event at Riverside Raceway in CA in the 80’s, owned and driven at the time by Otis Chandler (LA Times Publisher). He was very tall dude (6’-3”) and looked very goofy with his helmeted head poking way up above even the rear wing! He left a hell of a car collection when he died in 2006.

kapam Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 There is probably no finer compliment than saying a finished model looks like studio photos of the real thing! That is exactly the result you have attained here! Absolutely amazing! 👏👏👏 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin S. Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 Hello Vinegaroon9! Impressive construction of this model. I still have it in my stash. Your pictures of the finished model are great. Since I'm looking for inspiration for mine, I'm asking you if you've kept a construction diary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TommyOneTwoFour Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 As so many have said aready: fantastic build! I still have the 1/24 MFH kit... I think it will take steady nerves, steady hands and a lot of patience for me to get this look only half as good as your 1/12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
