    Too many nice Ferrari things for me to make and I soo want to own every kit "lol"
    Mostly to get great pictures of the box-art for my web but also course I seem to more of a collector then a builder at the moment.

    Will definitely get the Monzas and Mondials, if available.
    Tom, can you please email me about the P4/5 kit? I'd love to get one.

    I think Jim said the productions of the P 4/5 kit are unauthorized. Is this something new?

    As far as I know its the same people who did the other model. You can only get them grey market. They are I hear doing 25. That won't even cover the mold costs. That would be considered low enough numbers to be artwork. I am not out to get anyone in trouble so let this drop here. They are in Asia, so its not worth the trouble.

    I'm sure its not authorized. I don't particularly like the car, especially since its only a street car, but if it looks accurate I might get one or two. Some clients might be interested in some builts.

    Fishers 500/750 looks great!

    Any ideas yet on which decals will be done? Any plans for an IMSA version? It's been a few days - why haven't you announced the date and price? :) :) :)

    I'm disappointed as I have seen the Fujimi 512S kit and it is the old Protar kit re-moulded...

    I just saw that MG models did the Ferrari 212 Uovo in 1/12th scale, both in kit and built form.
    I don't really like this car to much, but interesting just the same.

    That 250 TdF looks real nice.
    If I would want one I would have to let someone else build it for me :(

    But then again with the things at the moment even that is not an option.
    Hope they will bring them out atleast sothat I could buy them at a later time !

    I will buy at least 3 or 4 TdFs to build several versions. Better yet if Hiro will release various versions themselves (14-louver, 3 louver, and one louver, both open and closed headlight versions). I spoke with Kyoko several times about htese kits over the last couple of years, so I really hope that they will finally bring them to market.

    Tom, who's making a kit of 64' Lusso? I would get one for sure, I was dying to build a TdF Blue stablemate for my Scale Kraft one, but couldn't find another kit.

    Actually two guys are planning a Lusso. Both based off the Scale Kraft kits but buildable. HRM and Max Effort (Jerry Rutherford). I have pics of Max Efforts kit with which I am assisting. Its really pretty. Hours and hours of work went into fixing the Lusso body. Alex, you can understand, you actually built one.... The new body is very nice. ME will also be doing TdF's but different bodies then HRM but using most of HRM's parts (they are working together). The duplication of the Lusso just happened but I think HRM's will have an engine and ME's will be curbside but with a thin hood easily opened if desired. Easier and faster to produce. VRM will be doing decals for the few racing versions that ran at Targa and some other race. There are other things planned but I don't ant to release to much info before they are closer to being ready as I will get too many emails and do not want preorders unless I know I can satify the demand. Perfect example is the HRM 250 TdF's. I knew about this kit when it was first considered and had my orders in before anyone yet still don't have the kits yet. Very frustrating. Anyway, here are the pics of the Lusso on my table at the NNL. The aluminum pieces are for the dash gauges. Also aluminum pieces will be available for all the headlights and can be seen on the other side over the passenger fender.

    Hi, i'am new member in this forum, sorry bad english :)

    I will definitely get all new MFH kits and also Lusso.

    Just received today ABC Brianzas 340 Mexico and after seeing it i wished MFH would have made kit from 340 Mexico. In ABC's model there's so much clean up work to do in body.

    Are you serious about sending mail to MFH to let them know i'am also intrested new kits so they actually are going to make them?

    Ed, the Lusso looks very nice. I really hope Hiro starts doing more sportscars in 1/24th again. They are a strange company when it comes to production schedules and choices.

    Tom,

    I always supposed they are doing what is most required on the Japanese market and we should just be happy with what we get. As long as the sales are good they will follow whatever release logic they have.
