Hm, strange - my updates in my own thread are not shown...
Okay, than I will write posts again
On weekend I've done some work with the body. A lot of sanding - yep. Also, I figured out that the front-grill is too complicated to be restored, so I looked at
ESCI 450 SLC and
Arii 450 SL model-kits, which I have for front-grill molding. The Arii's version is more true to life, and I will use Arii's front-grill for copying. For headlights I will use ESCI's lamps.
With the cutted front, I have cut out the rear end with lights and some grill which is too soft like soap, although it should be sharp like on prototype. The rear bumper was cut, and I will use ARII's rear lights for copying. Also I should to make the rear bumper more real like on prototype.
Here are the photos.

The next update will be in mid-August I suppose. I'm travelling from my home for a month or so. That time there should be my McLaren kit delivered.
