Ferrari 126C2

Steve Wilson @Chris...
Is it really as good as written and hoped for, or is it a Pig in a poke???
As I respect your views on modelling and your builds are awesome, I'd love to see a pre-build review on the kit by you followed by a review of the build... How about it Chris???

cbarthol4677 Hi Steve,
Yes, I can attest that MFH's 126C2 is as good as all the reports, possibly Hiro-San's best kit to date. I appreciate the nice comments about my builds, I'm always happy people can enjoy them. Unfortunately, it's probably gonna be a little while before I get to building it. My current project seems to be taking "a little" longer than I expected...............How about you?
Cheers,
Chris

Is there an echo in here??? That's been me for a few years now, I keep being found jobs to do by a certain little lady. I thought retiring would give me more time to build my stash of kits, don't beleive it, it's a fallacy!!! My 312 is near to ending . But the recent problems Kars (alien9998 ) has had with missing parts in his MFH kits, I found perturbing. So I've been going through all my MFH kits checking for missing parts, taking the opportunity to put each section of the instructions into zip-lock poly-bags. If a section only had a small number of parts I'd double up or more sections per zip-lock bag. Doing it has made me feel a tad geeky/nerdish! But satisfying in the sense, I have only found one missing part in my stash so far. It was from my 312B3 German GP, part M51. It seemed paltry complaining to Hiro-San, so I scratched made the part from some aluminium (which you US guys haven't learnt to pronounce right yet titter!) rod, of which I keep a stock of in various sizes, for making extra detail stuff. It was so successful I replaced that part in my other B3 kits as well, I'll post pictures later if you're interested. I have a couple of other projects started as well, once I've got past little ladies prodding finger, I'll get on with more important pressing things to do

Stefan Suessemilch I'm interested Steve

cbarthol4677 I am interested, and I am impressed you going through the MFH kits to check the parts. I have had an incorrect part in an MFH kit, sent a note, and got the correct part within a week. Always excellent service from MFH. I visited MFH about a little while back, and one thing Kyoko stressed to me is the importance of customer service, so they keep all the drawings and tools/molds for all the kits they've produced and can make replacement parts quickly whether it's something wrong in the kit as delivered, or something the customer messed up (also I did, and got a new part in a week). So, after my long, drawn-out explanation, you shouldn't feel bad about asking Hiro-San for a new part.

On the alumin(i)um matter. It's not that we haven't learned, it's that we're more efficient, and don't need that extra "i".............joking of course
