This McLaren was Ayrton's last. The version is the Australian GP one, which means different aerodynamics, ...

After more than 600 hours, the only kit parts left are the wheels, the body parts, engine and gearbox casing. All other parts are home made using lathe and mill and home made PE parts.

The after market items used are:

- Tenco Proto 'Scale Weave'
- Tenco Proto flexible wire
- Tenco Proto 'Scale Fabric'
- Top Studio connector sets

Hi

Wow what a fantastic build, with tons of little details everywhere. Looks like you have got all the detailchanges and I really like the detail with the fasteners in the bodywork. And the finish on the bodywork and 'rocket red' is simply perfect. Fantastic.

On the downside I'm not too fond of the 'weathering' part in the engine area. It is a McLaren and these are always kept pristine - but that is up to personal taste I guess?

Best regards

Flemming

The model was very realistc... the detailing was great, but I liked a lot of carbon fiber.

I saw this one at Nieuwegein and it's a deserved Gold winner.

That's one unreal build. Very impressive. So many little details, so perfectly executed.
600 hours of building? Time well spend I'd say.
