Modelers McLaren F1 GTR to F1 LM road car conversion progress.
This is Modelers McLaren F1 GTR LM resin kit which I am converting to the F1 LM road car, I have the Profil 24 McLaren to do a full detailed race version with. This year I'm trying to build the heavy hitters, some of my coolest kits that I'm tired of seeing lying around in boxes. This kit is very simple, no engine and electrical boxes, which will be removed, molded into the one piece chassis. They did a great job on the shape of the car and wheels.
 The body is designed to be held to the chassis by screws so it has thick attachment blocks made into the body blocking grills and vents which should be open. I will grind these off to open the holes and put screen in where necessary.   Most of the parts, there is also a photoetch sheet and vacuumed formed windows.  This is the road car that needs little introducton, I have the correct Papaya Orange paint provided by MCW.

BTW - Ray Bellm did this to his real GTR. He has one of his ex-Gulf cars converted back for road use. Oh to be that rich
