I love it. 

Did you see the Matra MFH is coming out with in April?


Thank yo Craig, I´ve seen the MS670, but had hoped for something else from France. If I would like to go that way, I would purchase the MS11 with the highly visible identical 12 cylinder engine, but somehow I don´t like the Matra blue. It looks toyish to me.
I´m still contemplating about the Brabham BT45, a very radical design with the flat 12 Alfa engine.

Cheers Rob

Absolutely gorgeous 😍 


Muchas gracias, Jack, Alan and Walter. The Cobra tested my patience and not everything went to plan, but about 90% were pure joy. The dreadful 10% accumulated towards the end and spoilt the experience a bit. All this is my fault, as I should have chosen a simpler MFH kit. The Cobra had it all, doors, hood, front lights under plexy, lots of vac parts, riveted on, ... , only missing wire spoked wheels. Lessons learned, my next MFH build will probably be a F1 car and definitely not my Ferrari 250 TRI from ´61.

Cheers Rob

Fantastic! It looks like a real car. The paintwork is really impressive, along with the rest.

Cheers,
