foxmulder_ms Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 (edited) For me the highlight of the year was Kimi. He was the one who entertained me the most. Also, his 20 finishes were really impressive. At the end he managed to finish third in the championship which was fantastic IMHO. Eagerly waiting for 2013.

vince14 Posted December 14, 2012 Author Share Posted December 14, 2012 On a plastic related side. If you liked this season you can get cars such as McLaren MP4-27 (available) Ferrari F2012 (I think available but could be wrong) Sauber C31 (Jan 13) and rumored Lotus E20 (july 13?) all from Fujimi! Also Tamiya just released the Red Bull RB6 from 2010 and it's rumored will also be releasing the Toro Rosso STR5 from the same season. (basically same kit with different decals) It's a good time to build modern F1 The McLaren MP4/27 has just landed at Hiroboy. Vince Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bigasshammm Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 The McLaren MP4/27 has just landed at Hiroboy. Vince I got my two already from Hobbylink Japan. Need to order some more paint and gloss before I can get one started. Still waiting on my box of RB6s to arrive. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

vince14 Posted December 15, 2012 Author Share Posted December 15, 2012 The Fujimi Sauber C30 is now listed on Hiroboy as well. Vince Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bigasshammm Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Yeah the C30 has been out for a bit. The curbside for a while and the engined kit for a month or so. The C31 comes out in January I believe. Do you buy from Hiro? Their prices are somewhat outrageous to me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vince14 Posted December 16, 2012 Author Share Posted December 16, 2012 For me, Hiroboy is good for the 'expensive' kits (MFH etc) as I can get a tracked delivery to my door for around the same price as it would cost to get them shipped to the UK from Japan without the risk of them being lost in the post and getting hit with extortionate customs fees, and they're the only place to go to get Zero Paints. For the 'cheaper' kits (like the Fujimi) I find it's better to get them direct from Japan or through Ebay, as even with the postage and the customs charges it's cheaper than Hiroboy.

Bigasshammm Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Yea you guys in the UK get basted by the import duties charges. Which I guess Hiro includes in their pricing. I love the paints and will forever get them but I can't see buying a kit there. They have the Fujimi Senna carts for around 45$ where everywhere else is under 25$.
