5 newbie questions geared toward f1 resin kits

hey all!
well the question i am asking is this:
1.do kits from modelers, studio 27 and model factory hiro , club m all need donor kits? (could you list the companies i do not know about!)

2.are any of them complete kits?

3.are the instructions language dependent (meaning are they all in the native language, or can they easily be decifered?)

4.could you point me to a u.s.a. supplier of these kits?

im looking for a really detailed f-1 kit.
i dont really mind what make or model, i just want some major detail and lots of parts! i am diiginf the look of the ferarri 126 ck (there is one on ebay right now for $280 u.s. plus shipping from japan.

5.could you guys recomend a kit?



i look forward from hearing from you guys!:icon16:

Check out HLJ.com. I have used them for years and they are an excellent source for all things modeling. As for the 126 check out http://www.hlj.com/product/FUJ09035. This should get you close for about 1/8 the money. With all the money you save you can stock up on paint and photoetch detail sets to your hearts content.

You would find a great service with Ed at Islancollectibles and for sure also with Kevin at Stradasports, but just my experience, I know there are aother superb services to purchase resin detailed kits. In the range you mentioned I would reccomend MFH, other questions are generic and would be pointed on a single product.

Modeler's, Studio 27 and MFH are usually complete kits, unless otherwise stated.
Club M kits usually need a donor kit.

You don't need to many words to go with the drawings that make up the instructions.

As pointed out, you're better of buying online from Japan.

If you're set on resin/multi-media kits, I'd recommend MFH - their offers, esp of late, are breathtaking compared to S27. Unless the subjects does not suit you. S27 are mostly curbside.

Apart from online shops in Japan, also check out MacsModeling - great guy with great service. In the USA.

As for 126CK, I'd go with the Fujimi suggestion... Mine is on it's way from hlj as we speak.
