Is there a McLaren F1 plastic model? I'd love a Tamiya one... but anything would be cool. Thanks!!!:flash:

I think there's die-cast McLarens in 1/18 and 1/43 scales, and there's a resin kit or two in 1/24 scale, but no plastic kits, AFAIK. Sorry... :(

I think he's talking about the road car. Not the race car. :D

Yeah, what he said... I should've been more specific.

If there were a plastic model of the F1, I would have got one already. Sigh...
However, I have some plans...

Great video of one of the best cars in the world. Were you the one making the video?

It was shot at the British Motor Show in Yokohama last October.

There was a charity ride of some unique cars, such as the Lotus, Lancias, Tommy Kaira. Obviously, the McLaren was the star among them, and the BMW V12 sounded great. I liked the owners attitude of not holding back. With such a hard launch, I bet it used up the rear tires, which would cost more than $1000 a piece, on that day.

A drop in the bucket if you can afford a $1/4 mil car! :D
