I am pleased to announce a very special and limited project. The 250GT Breadvan in 1/12 scale. This model will feature a 3D printed body, a scratch built chassis and a number of parts from the MFH 250 GTO. This is initially limited to 4 examples and the option of any of the liveries will be the clients choice. I plan to do this as a full open high detail model and an optional "curbside"closed version. Contact Mike for more detail or to reserve one of the four models.

Body Painted and livery applied...then dry fit to a MFH GTO chassis.Of course the final chassis, engine and interior will be reworked and modified

It has progressed. The vac forms are now being made for the headlights and hood bubble, body is in paint/decal phase and the chassis has been started. I will post an update soon.

I am thinking of having a mould made and then casting resin transkits...but I need enough interest in that. Spread the word so it can happen! I have a first rate person to do the casting here in Florida.

That is pretty impressive, Peter. Have those been cleaned up, or are they straight off the printer like that?

Straight from the printer like this. VERY expensive ;) It will be coated with acrylic.

Very nice looking master. Not sure about the dashboard, but the body looks great. They come perfectly clean like this if you have it done
to the highest standard. Good printers are not hard to find, but they are very expensive. Quickshapes did my parts and they were perfect but very expensive.

Your rules...my decision. We will see ;) But I am moving in that direction.


"Trans" kits would be too expensive for most. Double the cost of the base kit.If there is enough interest for 10 or 20 I may be able to get the cost down but they won't be cheap. It would include the body print [hinged doors and hood], dash, glass and decals for the race version.
