One McLaren down, four to go. :)
It took me much more time than I was expecting to finish it, but it turned out a great looking model.
The MP4/8 with is pure lines is for me one of the most beautiful F1 cars of all the time, and fighting with the much more competitive Williams-Renault it achieved 5 wins by the hands of Ayrton Senna in the 93 season.
Hope you like it.

Another great kit from you.
Excellent, as you know I love this kit, so its good to see it finished. You did a good job considering you even dropped it!
What are you working on now?

Right now I'm working almost exclusively on the Honda F1.
It's a nice model and rather easy to build.
After building so many models with so many decals is nice to build this one. :D

I really hope so. I’m waiting for quite some time to see pictures of that marvellous HF Integrale

Hummmm, I don’t think so :D
I only have build one so far and I have much to learn.
However the fact of seeing so many of you making lovely road sport cars have open my appetite.
