News letter Vol. 12, Issue 3

from

Mac’s Modeling LLC

03/28/2016

The workshop has basic floor, walls and a skeleton ceiling, ready for the electrician to come in and run all the wiring necessary this week. Traded some granite work for that. :) Maybe this coming weekend I can close the roof up. It will then be a while before anything else can be done. I have spent all the money I had on Home Depot gift cards now. So not much else will happen until I earn some more money from Granite work.

My personal situation has still not really improved. I will get through it.
There is a lot of orders ready to ship from various parts of the World so I am going be just as busy as I have been. I Thank you all for your patience through these times.

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

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

: It's looking like the 1:12 DFV engines will retail at around $170.00. There is a lot of outlay involved with getting these produced. So if you have not emailed me about your interest in these, please do so, so I can come up with a production plan. As stated before, Tameo will be producing the white metal parts and Photo etch parts for us while MFH will be producing the resin parts, block, cylinder blocks and cam heads.
Resin casting is still at a halt, but it's looking like I may be able to start limited production next week. Machining has started up again, so more parts will become available as the weeks go by.

 : We are finalizing this months order with MFH, so you should expect to see some emails shortly, about your orders..

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

Also, Racing Pictorial Vol. 50, has been announced for release in March. It covers 1975 Grand Prix, 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: We will be receiving some more of the Carbon decals for the McLaren MP4/30 and for the Jordan 191 shortly.
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.

As you are probably all aware now, the latest detail set TD23161 for the 1:12 Tamiya McLaren MP4/6 is just about ready to ship from China. If you have not pre-ordered yours for $75.00, you still can, if you do it in the next 48 hours after that it will be retail price of $85.00.
There are also two detail sets for the 1:20 Ebbro McLaren MP4/30 TD23162, drive shafts and TD23163, exhaust pipe. If you want any of these pre-order now. As I said this order is closing in 48 hours. Call it 1pm AZ time on March 30th.
Also if there are any other items from Top Studio that you want, and we do not have in stock, let us know in the next 48 hours and you will get the same discount as a 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.

  
We will be receiving the Honda RC213V 2014 bike, TAM14130, and front fork, TAM12667, detail parts in the next couple of weeks. You can find these on the Pre-order page.
If you would like any Tamiya kits or parts not on the website, please send an email to orders@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.

 
The latest Tameo order will be arriving today. Unfortunately, none of the wheel and tire sets are in it. I apparently ordered too many sets and they are now getting more manufactured. They tell me that they will be using a different company to manufacture the rims, which means the price will change from what is shown on the website. They expect to have the new rims in the next 2 months.
There is still time to pre-order the release of their next built model 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 still waiting on "fill-in" decals for these. We will have very limited Acu-Stion decals and parts available shortly.

REFERENCE MATERIAL: 
The new books from Stance and Speed will be arriving this week. We will not be carrying a lot of these in stock, because we can have them "drop shipped" to you from the publisher and save you a little on the total purchase price that way.
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.
