1/20 Fujimi Mclaren MP4/5 Belgian GP "Senna"

Hi guys,

After almost 1 year and 8 months i finished this model. I had some problems with the Zero Paints primer and it destroyed the body parts. I think i have sprayed the coats of primer too thick. So with some help from a friend in the states(Mac), who was kind enough to open a kit just for the parts. We i received them i didn't start the project immediately, because i had some other project on the table. So i started this project again during the end of the summer. All the parts of the body where glued together and filled with 2k polyester filler from tamiya and some sanding. The first coats of Tamiya primer where sprayed on. Then some decanted Motip white with the airbrush and after a couple of days of drying a couple of coats of decanted Motip Ral 3024 fluo red. When i was going to start to decal the parts, i saw that the lines of the fluo red where not correct, so everything went in to quick bath of brakefluid and started the process all over again, but this time i painted the fluo red correct. Because the fluo red is a flat color i had to clear coat the parts with decated Motip clear. When dries i started to decal this model. After drying and removing of some sol residue i clear coated the parts with 2K clear from Zero Paints. Assembly started and added some brake wires, PE bolts and PE Dzus fasteners. I very happy with the result, nevertheless with all the problems i had. Anyway here are some pics and i hope you enjoy them:

That looks great Lesley! That red is really vibrant! Your patience on getting through the painting difficulties really paid off with a great build.

Looks excellent, paint work looks good to me. Are they ICON tyres you have used?

Congratulations on finishing this nice model especially after all your troubles!
