Sunoco McLaren GTR Le Mans 1997

I picked up this kit in ’97 or ’98, I’m not sure how rare it is now, but I haven’t been able to find another one. The decals were the main reason I bought it, I wanted to build the version that the kit built. Sadly the decals were too brittle to be saved by even two coats of clear before application, so I had to make replacements for just about all of them. A few of the smaller sponsor decals were usable.
The color called out in the instructions was not the traditional blue, and it was also stated to be metallic so I used Tamiya Deep Metallic Blue. It’s 1/43rd scale.
