McLaren F1 GTR 'Gulf' LM97

Hello

I decide to make my first WIP in this Forum.
The kit is from Studio27 and I´m very happing that I get a chance to get them.


The original



First I am opening some holes and slots.





And put some putty on it



From the backside I remove some resine, for a thin surface



A bit of plasticsheet from behind and it looks like that



Greetings Sascha

Re: McLaren F1 GTR 'Gulf' LM97

Hallo Sascha !
Ich schreibe auf deutsch, da ich das in englisch sicher nicht so sagen könnte.
Bevor Du einen Fehler machst, will ich auf etwas aufmerksam machen:
An den hinteren oberen Y förmigen Lufteinlässen sind nur die beiden Inneren offen. Die beiden Äusseren sind beim Gulf GTR mit Abdeckungen geschlossen.
Genauso verhält es sich bei den beiden recheckigen unter dem Heckspoiler.
Es ist aber richtig in der Bauanleitung beschrieben.
Wenn Du Reverenzfotos brauchst, schick mir eine kurze Mail....

Greets, Funny

Great subject, impressive start! Like others, I wish this car was available in a more detailed kit but S27 may be all we're going to get in 1/24th. Nice to see you building this.

Re: McLaren F1 GTR 'Gulf' LM97

Thanks guys

Nice to read your postings.

Thank you Funny for your info about the carboby!!!

Next I put out some resine from the wheel case, because I decide to open the slots.



Till the light shine through



then I saw the slots off





See the difference




Finshed it looks like this



Bye Sascha

Nice interior! Great work opening all those holes in the body. I just hope the slots in the fenders will stay open after painting. They look quite narrow...

Hi JayKay

I think will work .

Next time I build the rear spoiler. The white metalpart doesn´t fit, so I have to change this.

Very impressive start.

A notice a lot of work going into the body. But the result is great.
Nice livery for this car too.
I'll be following this one closely.
