News letter Vol. 12, Issue 2

from

Mac’s Modeling LLC

03/10/2016

I have the floor of the new Workshop in place and hopefully this weekend I will get the walls up, as long as I can talk some friends into helping me stand them up. :)
I was recently sick with the Flu, which seems to have been a rather Nasty strain, which had me laid up completely for 3 days, I lost my voice completely for a couple of days. I have never been out of action that long. Anyway I am well on the recovery road now, so hopefully that will be it for me and illness for the rest of the year.

Other than that, my personal situation has not really improved, which also slowed down the necessary changes, but I am getting through it. And as many of you know has slowed down me shipping out kits. I am still playing catch up. Thank you for your patience.

**************************************************************************************************

I do want to emphasize a point on ordering, especially as we are so busy; by all means phone in your order, but we need you to confirm it in writing in the form of an email to orders@macsmodeling.com, this will prevent misplaced orders.

Apparently, some of you cannot download the Excel Order form. Don't worry if you can't, just send your email order with what you want in the body of the email.

One last note: If you receive an email that says you owe xxxxxxJPY (an amount in Japanese Yen) please pay in JPY, NOT US Dollars. It costs me money to change it to JPY.
If you want to pay in US Dollars email me and I will give you an amount to pay in US dollars

Model News

: We are getting much closer to producing the 1:12 DFV engines, I still have not come up with a retail price yet. I am beginning to get an idea and I'm confident you will like it, considering all the parts that will be included. White metal parts are being produced by Tameo, and resin parts will probably be produced by MFH, still waiting on their pricing and schedule.
Resin casting came to a grinding halt again, and will not commence again until the workshop is finished. Machining has started up again, so more parts will become available as the weeks go by.

 : The latest 1:12 offering is 5 more versions of the Lancia 037, including the Safari version from 1984, that version retails at 78,000JPY, all the others are still at 73,000JPY. They are still shown on the Pre-order page. The 4th engine kit KE004 of the Ferrari 250 GT engine is now on sale, if you want one.

Also a curbside version of 1:20 scale Lotus 94T has been released under their "light" models: LK006 it retails at 18,000JPY and can be found on the Pre-order page

They have also released some really nice detail parts; Cable ties. There are four different options, two in Black and two in white, making a total of six different sizes in each color. P1086 White, 3 sizes, 10 of each size. P1087 Black, 3 sizes, 10 of each size. P1088 White 3 smaller sizes, 10 of each size and P1089 Black, 3 smaller sizes, 10 of each size. These are all available for pre-order and can be found on the Pre-order page.

Also, Racing Pictorial Vol. 49, was released February. It covers 1972 Grand Prix, Part 2. They will be arriving shortly, and they have announced the release of Racing Pictorial Vol. 50 this month, covering 1975 GP, Part 1.  If you do not have a subscription to these and you want a copy, please email your request now.

They have also re-released some older kits which you will have seen in the email you received. These are very limited numbers, so if you want one, order NOW and I will get them reserved.

You should know the system now, but just in case you don't..........send your order via email to orders@macsmodeling.com with MFH in the subject line, and what you would like in the body of the email, or attach a completed order form.

STUDIO 27: If you want anything from Studio 27. Send your order to orders@macsmodeling.com and put ST27 in the subject line and what you want in the body of the email.

Check out the Pre-Order page for other items, and if there is something you want that will be released in the future, just send us an email with your pre-order.

efworks: A new kid on the block see the New Products Showcase. They are producing some 1:12 Wheels with tire warmers, rain tires with decals, items for dioramas and more. They offer customization of their items for your individual needs as well.

  
If you would like any Tamiya kits or parts not on the website, please send an email toorders@macsmodeling.com put Tamiya in the subject line and what you would like in the body of the email.

 
If you would like any new releases, kits or anything else they offer that we do not have, please send an email to orders@macsmodeling.com put Hasegawa in the subject line and what you would like in the body of the email.

 
If there is anything else you would like from Fujimi please send an email to orders@macsmodeling.com and put Fujimi in the subject line and what you would like in the body of the email.

 
We are waiting on the invoice from Tameo. Included in this shipment will be the latest built models TMB035. They also have announced the release of their next built model for pre-order TMB036, Lotus 99T Senna, 1984 USGP.  Please send your email to Tameo@macsmodeling.com . Thank you!

: We are now being told that the release of the Lamborghini Sesto Elemento will be at the end of March, the "Overseas edition" which is what we get, will include a clear body as extra that the Japanese market will not get. You can pre-order these now if you like by sending an email to orders@macsmodeling.com with Aoshima in the subject line and your order in the body of the email. If you want something else from them please email us. We are required to make a minimum order so please place orders for their products, any of them. ;)

: What can I say..........the McLaren MP4/30 mid and early season have been released. We are waiting on "fill-in" decals for these.

REFERENCE MATERIAL: 
We are always adding more reference material. Check out the Ref Material page  If you have not had a look lately, have a good look through the list, you just may find something you "must have". ;) If you have any suggestions for material, let us know

You will notice I keep mentioning sending orders to orders@macsmodeling.com with different titles in the Subject line. I REALLY want you to follow these instructions, PLEASE!

I have created "filters" in the orders@macsmodeling.com so the emails will go into the correct folder for Manufacturers etc. That way I know where to look for orders for different manufacturers, rather than having to go through every email to find your order. You can still use the order form, but most important is you put the Manufacturer in the subject line. If you have something you want from multiple Manufacturers, just put "Multiple Order" in the subject line, fill out and attach the Excel Order Form. If you cannot download the order form, just put what you want in the body of the email. I hope that is clear......................probably as mud. ;)

Tameo and This Way Up are the exceptions: Because Tameo, on their website, have Tameo@macsmodeling.com as a way to contact me for customers, any Tameo items should be ordered there. And This Way Up orders should be sent toTWU@macsmodeling.com

Thank you, ahead of time, for your efforts in doing this.
