Re: WIP Tamiya Mclaren Mp4/4
Nice start. I have this kit in my pile as well. Will you be building Senna or Prost's ride?
Also, I believe those things on the sides are radiator outlets. |

Re: WIP Tamiya Mclaren Mp4/4
Excellent preparation work so far.I would also recommend using some white primer as white paint over grey will darken the white significantly.

Re: WIP Tamiya Mclaren Mp4/4
It's all looking very good.You are right to take time with the puttying work.Time spent getting it right will pay dividends when you come to the painting stages.

Re: WIP Tamiya Mclaren Mp4/4
update once again...
the tires were sanded with a motor tool ( i think they look really good ) and then washed   the red parts masked and sprayed the first coat, i sprayed the second coat but these are pics of the first coat.. I figured its easyier to masked off the red when its time to spray the white.. It might mess you up the red but i used the tape as a guid line because i dont really have to mask the whole body becuase most of its going to be red so i masked the red and after that i will mask up the red and spray the white.. ( i dont know how to explain it good i hope you get what i mean)   i would like to thank zubski for hes tips for my tamiya.. i wont have a update for a while now soo be patient Johnny |
