McLaren MP4 fax machine

Up next is Fujimi's McLaren MP4-12C GT3 kit, or as Jeremy Clarkson calls it , the fax machine, not trying to compete with Dieteufel builds:iceslolan , just going to OOB, I am using Gulf Orange from Scale Finishes.

Up first a pic of the body out of the box

and the body with the side bits on

and the rear end, I am not looking forward to having to paint the middle part black, but I think I am going to do it first, then body color

And the front , as you can see, it has molded in vent screen's, I am going cut them out and replace with mesh screen, but the only problem is the tow hook attaches to the left screen, so I have to figure out something for that .
