Re: Tamiya Mclaren MP4/5B

Thanks Doc (Lol that sounds strange to say). I had glanced at getting a PE kit but I didn't see much I would use honestly. I did pick up a seat belt kit from KA and will use the PE tire stencils I have left over from my Lotus 99T project. The seatbelts will be the first time I work with PE so that alone is going to be enough of a learning experience for me! The engineer/driver set is pretty cool though. I will probably only use the driver to make Senna, or may just use the helmet alone, I'm not sure yet.

Here is some progress. I started a few days ago and am just now getting some pics of it, so don't think I'm that fast

Glued and puttied the side pieces of the body so I don't get a nasty seam like I did on the Lotus.
