Thanks for all the comments guys. This is the 1/20th Tamiya McLaren MP4/5B Honda (20026). So far I have found the model to be pretty good. However, my body cowling is warped and doesn't fit on the model cleanly. I started to fix the problem, but then decided I was going to display the model with the cowling off so I didn't bother. Also the method Tamiya used to model the front suspension requires a lot of work to make it look realistic. I have also started working on a jordan 191 and this model seems to be engineered much better.
The f1 specialties PE belt buckles are fantastic and look really good. However, some parts require complex bending and a lot of care is needed to make sure they all fit together. I stuffed up the first one I did. You also get a lot of decals and belt materials in different colous and widths. But like I said before, the material is very stiff and the decal won't stick to it. I don't have a camera at the moment so I can't take any close up pics.
I am also moving so no more updates for probably a week.
