    That's very nice work.

    Are you selling them or just showing them?

    Do you have links to the kits?

    What car is in your last picture? It doesn't have a label.

    VERY nice work. I have the MG F399 kit that is nothing short of horrible. Warped in many places, way to thick in most places and not very accurate. I pull it out now and then to do some work and may get it done one day. I think I have ground off half the kit to make it look right. Still, in 1/12 about the only choice you have to go. Just ordered the MFH F2004, can't wait.

    Thank you for the compliment.
    These models are not for sale just for you to see!
    The last car is the F2004!
    Sorry, I have no links to these kits.
    But be aware, these kits are not easy to built. Infect they are a nightmare to built.
    Nothing fits right, everything needs to be reworked. Defiantly no kit for the average builder!
    Two of the model have an engine, I will take some photos later on!

    Those engines look spectacular! Very ncie with with the CF on both models as well. I'm saving my pennies for a MM kit of the 248, I just can't decide between 1:43 or 1:20 or which kit to go with...mfh, s27, tameo....bbr...the list goes on and on.

    Respect Wolfman... That took a lot of patience, experience and time....

    How long did it take to have these 4 built?

    Model plus ferrari's are very good and can be built to a very high standard.
    But they are not easy to build. Do not try building one without the confidence of finishing it in good order. Prices ar high and messing it up is very easy!

    The kits are very good, but as said, need a lot of work.
    I have built the 375MM 1/12 in le mans livery, which was easier because it doesn't have the spoilers and curves of a modern F1 car.
    (I prefer the classics).

    The modelplus ferrari's can be ordered on www.mgmodelplus.eu
    (don't know which cars are available.)

    I recently ordered a ferrari 330P3 on www.minidelta.be.
    Made by Patrice de Conto, this is an amazing model.
    I ordered the kit (the built ones are out of my league).
    Don't know if I will build it myself, but I had to have one......
    It might be on the shelf for a long time, but needs to be built in fine quality.

    The models are Super, but steering wheel is for 1/12 not good, details are poor and carbon sticker on front A frame is not in corect position. But i thing im the only one who notice that mistakes ;). I would love to have one of this model in my room.

    You're not the only one to notce....

    The F1-2000 front nose is also not accurate. It should be more arrow or "V" shaped.

    Stunning models, I mean no disrespect at all, but the minor little details should be right on a 1/12th model. They get magnified and multiplied to people who really notice.

    Thank you for the critique on my F2000 1/12 scale model.
    I don’t know if you ever had the chance to see a Model Plus or Mathilde kit in 1/12 scale? These kits are a nightmare to built, absolute nothing fits and everything needs to be reworked!
    But to my knowledge, the noose looks correct to me. I enclosed a photo of the same model a BBR, but a different scale (1/20).

    I mean direction of carbon fiber. Left and right side( A frame ) must be in mirrored position if you understand me. But your models are very good!!!!!!!

    At the 2000 Japanese GP where Schumacher clinched the world title the front wing was changed from the "V" shape to a flat front shape.

    Thank you for all the advice in reference to the front spoiler.
    My model the F2000 represents the Malaysia GP version.
    The front spoiler was kind of flat and not V shaped just like the one they used in the Japan GP.
    Sean F. has shown some fine photos of the Japan version.

    I see Michael Schumacher's name is spelled 'Schuhmacher' on the base in a couple of the pics.

    A minor detail, but it did jump out at me.

    The cars are fantastic, though - great work.

    Dave1442397, respect; you’re the first one who noticed the wrong spelling on the plaque of the F2000.

    Thank you, for the complement on the models!

    Beautiful 1/12 scale models Wolfman. I am also a collector and builder and can appreciate what you have done to those damn MG resin kits to make them look this good. Great Job. I'll need to share pictures of some of mine as well someday.

    Thank you f430vu, so you know what a MG or Mathilde 1/12 F1 kit looks like.
    Most of the small spoilers are warped and the material is so thin, you might as well throw that part in the garbage. I usually make the spoilers if not usable from thin Aluminum. I would like to see some of your work!
