Gulf McLaren F1 GTR Longtail

Words fail me; your build is just fantastic. I'm astounded. May I ask please, what rivets have you used for these later stages? Robin

Lovely work, Tyne finish is excellent

...How do you think the wheels from Hobby Design is much different from the standard?

Hobby Design provides a complete braking system, so you can paint and detail each part separately. Also, you can opt for showing your model with wheels off.

I used Tuner Model Manufactory and Scale Motorsport rivets and washers for all body details.

At this time, I glued the doors and rear wing in place (I scratchbuilt new gas struts for the doors):
