Fujimi McLaren F1
After a 5 month delay, I've finally finished my stock Fujimi McLaren F1. Actually, I realized after photos I should scratchbuild the missing black rocker areas that Fujimi forgot...
Very basic kit with a lot of simplification and corner-cutting. It still looks pretty decent when built. I used some of the p/e set, and left other for an F1 LM conversion (I'm still waiting to see if Aoshima might do that...). Paint is Testors Honduras Maroon, overcoated w/Tamiya transparent orange. Wheels are Tamiya 360 Modena...the stock F1 wheels bore me to tears. I'd share my WIP but the above menus and smilies are refusing to work...

Re: Fujimi McLaren F1
Really nice color choice! Is it the acrylic paint range you've been using?

Paint is all decanted and airbrushed, the Testors and Tamiya are acrylic lacquers, the U-Pol clear I believe is a 1K urethane.

Re: Fujimi McLaren F1
Great Work as usual Bob! Love the colour choice!
I just got Fujimi's F1 LM Gulf (short-tail) & must say I'm rather disapointed! Why must Fujimi make the doors either open or closed...

Re: Fujimi McLaren F1
The color in person is just delicious...
It looks like it should taste like cinnamon
