MFH McLaren F1-GTR LeMans 1996 FINA

I call this one completed. Lots and lots of effort spent, but in the end this model didn't turn out as good as I hoped.
Lots of good work is hidden inside cockpit and under hoods. But most visible parts that probably turn people off on
it - windows, I couldn't get right. I guess because windows don't look clean, over all model does not look clean also,
even though paint, decals and clear coat were done pretty well, imho. Gaps between panels probably make it look
even worse.

Aoshima F1-GTR long tail build was quite a bit easier and kit just fallen together well. It was less challenging and I
put less effort into it. But people still like it more.

Lessons for next builds are - not to settle for mediocre finishes, especially for windows and continue improving my
gluing techniques. Goal of improving parts' fit is probably more for MFH. And judging from some of recent 1/12 builds,
they have improved quite a bit.

She is beautiful. Your drive for perfection will probably being something really special next

Hi.
Great looking car and very clean built.

Looks great, youve done an amazing job, was a pleasure to follow!!!
& On the plus side it looks heaps better than a Fujimi short-tail!
You'd expect a model that costs 6x more to be alot better. Yes I get theres heaps of detail parts & everything, but MFH need to step up their game.

Well, I have to say that your apparent pessimism about model is not at all justified! I think it look brilliant.

Looks great!
