McLaren MP4/5B Progress Thread *ON HOLD*
While I wait for the paint to dry/cure on my Hayabusa, I thought I'd get started on my first F1 kit, the McLaren 4/5B. I'm relatively new to the world of F1, so I'm requesting your help in finding some reference photos or sites for the 1990 F1 season in which the car was raced, I know there are a lot of F1 fans on this board so if any of you could help me out I would really appreciate it.
Also, for those of you who have built this kit, the parts A15 and A14 can be built in three ways - what were the reasons for changing the size of the panel, and at which races did they do it? Also, the part A13 is optional (looks like a little wing to the right and behind the driver), what was its purpose, and when was it installed? Thanks a lot Of course, this will be done in Senna's variation Already ordered the Marlboro S27 decals from Wong at MediaMix Hobby Last edited by daggerlee; 11-20-2002 at 08:21 PM. |

The little wing like thing on the right behind driver is the In Car Camera.

I haven't really had a real good look at this site before, so Im not sure how good it is, but it may help.

good luck with the MP4/5b.
As for the side panels, looks like it was for different degrees of cooling depending one the race. Like Gavkiwi says, check out the forix.com, do a search for that year tyou will see the difference between the races. here's a pic of my finished model.

Hi Del-R,
That's a sweet looking McLaren .Very nice finished. Did you paint the red or used decals? Cheers, Guido btw. I think Daggerlee has changed his mind on doing his MP4/5 and that he's on a other project for the moment. |

It’s coming real nice.
Are you sure this is the first F1 model you build? |
