BigGrin Hi All

This kit is of the Spanish GP version F . There are no tobacco decals with this kit due to the usual restrictions but they are available as after market items.
One thing I would recommend doing is to follow the link to MFH and to watch the video of the working pistons in the engine and to see the pure quality of this kit.

I also managed to get hold of the MFH Mclaren MP4/4 in detail book 31 pages of close up detail. These books sell out quick and can be sold for silly money on flea bay as its no longer available from MFH in this version but there is a place I found with some for sale at a reasonable price, link below.

The kit comes in a shiny black cardboard box with the instructions the first thing you see, MFH instructions are clear and precise the only thing you need to be aware of is the painting instructions go in tandem with the build. Below that is the package containing the heat reflector foil and real wood strip. Next you see a box and the rubber/metal wheels several bags of white metal parts all well cast, these are the engine and small detail parts like turbo's.The inner card box contains the cast resin parts consisting of the outer body and mono parts and other ancillary cast parts. Below these parts are the springs and fine detail parts like pins,magnets,woven seat belt parts and screws. At the bottom of the box are the decals which consist of the main body decals [minus the tobacco ones] and a full set of carbon fibre decals. Lastly right at the bottom are the metal etch parts which are super fine and just a joy to behold.

All in all a quality kit from MFH and although not a beginers kit it will build into a very accurate and special model the only addition being the tobacco decals and paint Zero do a full Mclaren set for this kit.

Regards

BigGrin Hi All

The decal set from Hong Kong has arrived and its a top notch set, makes me want to start this after the Merkava build.
