Re: 1/20 McLaren MP 4/4 Tamiya+TS Detail
Here you go gents.
I was quite fortunate as the car had mechanical problems so was in pieces and being worked on by the McLaren mechanics as I was walking by. Hope these help and I'll be following this WIP closely. KC              |

Re: 1/20 McLaren MP 4/4 Tamiya+TS Detail
Very interesting with the shoe polish. It adds a fresh unused look to the tires. Will decals still stick to it such as the inventory barcodes and tire info sheets on some of the decal sets? Overall it looks really good.
