Thats nice. I hope you guys make a Mercedes resin (SL or CL class would be nice) sometime in the future since its now safe to say all the top named companies let us down with that one.

Looking really nice so far I'll have to have a Carlos Sainz Official car for myself ))

Hi,

yes, gio, I meant the front cooler.

Sorry, I got it wrong , the master model is still in work and not finished ?

Nevertheless, hope you send me the finished kit for a review

[rallymaster]

Hello,

I did a advertisement on a french forum... This model got there a real big success and I already have tons of questions to answer an preorder-like to register !!!

I will have to contact you by PM in the coming days to get some answer to relay.


Concerning the kit, I see I am not the only one to be rude with the hinges, but making them tronger than beautifull must be a good reason.

Buying one ? Uhhh how not to buy such a dream model...??

(well, have to know the prise before... )

moreover 4 kits for the 4 versions (logical, as I thought it was, that's why I asked it, contrary would have been very surprising)... So 4 kits to buy ??

so, i won't say more here, I keep all questions that were asked to me in a corner of the computer and will relay them by PM soon.


Thanks for your answer and count with me for making ads of this model !

Gio,

Im a bit late to the party but Im definately in for one too. The very best of luck with this and what a first model to release - hopefully more of this kind to follow. Very exciting indeed.

Before all thanks for all the support, I guess me&guys will find the way to thanks

Hinges: TBH I wanted to show the job done, with the PE solution: I'll anticipate now, and show ASA I have PE : I designed a solution with PE hinges just like the thin plates in the real one. The way is intended as optional but obviously you'll find it in the PE sheet. You need just cut out the resin hinges (quick and easy for the way they're designed), make a fold and install the two PE hinges, in this case you need also to cut out resin "false hubs" we used as a turning end for resin hinges and (in the same place) install a little wire-hub. Looks like difficult but it's a kid's joke .

Phil please PM me wich forum you meant, the one I know I found nothing (and start with mauuuu like cat's spells LOL)

Hello

And what about the clear parts such as all the lenses.
The Gass ones for the Opel Ascona were not the best I found in a resin kit.
In the first pictures, the lenses for the front side lenses are in resin.
Lenses done by MFH and Modeler's are much better.

Regards

Yep I believe MFH are better ,

They're the best to me now, so we'll try with any effort to offer something not so far to their standard: I believe we're learning a lot and due the "no compromise way" I guess we'll offer soon (if we aren't offering just now, but you'll judge by yourself seeing the FINISHED JOB at naked eye) something excellent. At least this is our mission: we do stuff for ourself, mainly, and then shaing with others.

Lens are ALL in clear resin, also those side lens you seen mounted and primed: we'll have in few days, we had to switch the manufacturer since we wasn't satisfacted with the clear resin quality (and durability).

I'll be with you with the Ascona, but I guess it isn't a responsability of my buddy, he done just what they asked, and in the price's range they offered: some other master's mold , like Arena's stratos or abarth are way better.

Anyway to stay on the topic, any critic would be very well accepted to achieve a better model, for us and our image, and for you customers.
