Coppercat Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 (edited) My last completed model. This is my first MFH model. I am impressed by the quality of the parts and the mapping of details. I added a lot of my own ideas (for example, all lights are on (LED) and controlled from the stand). I am happy to answer any question for details.

Because most Italian competition sports cars of the day were designed for generally clockwise race tracks (historic convention in Europe). So you can place yourself better at the apex. I did read somewhere that as a result, at one time, driving on the left was normal in the countryside of Italy, reverting to the right in towns! Sounded apocryphal to me, but there’s plenty of weird driving rules around the world. 🤣 Anyway congratulations to @Coppercaton achieving a beautiful model 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnlambert Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 That's absolutely exquisite, a model that could easily pass for the full-size car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitkent Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Museum quality if I may say! The paintjob is actually far better than the real car was in real life! Chris. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nearsightedjohn Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 (edited) Absolutely spectacular model of a gorgeous race car! Can the front wheels be “steered” on these 1/24 MFH kits? (I feature I favor on car models, particularly when photographing). Any possibility you could post pic(s) of the under carriage as well as a front end view with the lights illuminated? Your build is inspiring me to splurge on one of these $$$ kits one day! Edited July 22, 2022 by nearsightedjohn Grammar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not possible to turn the front wheels. Theoretically all wheels could rotate (roll), but I blocked them so that the model would not "run away" from the stand. I will take photos with the lights on soon (I haven't selected the resistors yet). I emphasize that the lighting is not included in the MFH set.
