Just opened the box
New toll and I believe the first 1/12 scale kit from beemax
Thay also sale an upgrade kit for this kit
And also another decal set
At the cost of this kit I feal it should be included in the kit
There is no pe parts included
You need to get the upgrade kit for that
There is plenty of injection marks on many of the parts
Going to be interesting to see how much it matters
Lots of nuts and bolts in the kit
And lots of small repeating parts to glue
I believe it will build up to be a butiful model with the upgrade kit
Unfortunately it was sold out at the time I bought my kit hopefully it will be back in stock at some point
I don't think the kit is complete with out it
A bit expensive for what it is

Interesting that you've jumped into this, doesn't it have some MFH history, hence the price?

I think the price has more to do with its a new tool kit
Thay have to make money back on the kit
I also believe its there first 1/12 kit
The price I believe is to high for what's in the box

I am not aware of any connection to model factory hiro in regards to this kit

Model factory hiro did make this car in 1/12
This exact model but with a wast difference
The MFH kit comes with 2 large pe parts sheets
Probably 100 metal parts
Amongst them is turnd metal rims
A few resin parts
Pree painted tyres
And much more detail
After purchasing the extras for this kit it will still come in at about half the price of the MFH kit
MFH will surely in the right hands turn out a nicer model
If both models are built straight from the kits
My point of view is out from what's in the box and compared with other new toll kits in the same price range
Like the Bugatti from italeri
At a cheaper cost there is much more in the box then in this kit
Yes its a nice kit if you get the extras for it
But the value is just not there

AHH, JV!
I had to stalk your wall to see this, because I've set my scales to 1/24 - 1/25 only.
I have a friend in Tampa who builds nothing but racing cars. They're a lot of work, but they look spectacular when completed and in a case.

Yes this is sure a great model to Specaly considering its a first for beemax
In the scale even f1 I haven't seen much from them
I did have a comment before about if the cot was because of the condition with MFH
I don't see any connection and a wast difference in quality
Yes MFH kits are not cheap but the quality is there
I still haven't go the pressure of getting any of these kits yet
But its sure on my list
All k8ts look fantastic if in the right hands but sure not all kits are borne equal
I sure would have to have this kit in my stash but if I look at value
8 sure wo7ld not recommended this kit

If it makes you feel better mate, I've been looking at 1/16 Sherman tanks. I'll hazard a guess that they'll be about $300+ in Oz? But then I started looking at the aftermarket detail sets, and now I'm bloody hooked!
So don't worry, if you think that you're mad. Your in a happy nut house, with the rest of us! 🙂 🙂 🙂

Sense there is no information on this kit yet
