No other McLaren is so historic that it deserves a plastic kit, particularly not Gordon Murray's self-serving gluttonous wedge. That car was a Murray, not a McLaren.

McLarens are bright orange (New Zealand's national racing color). They're brute simple but brilliantly effective. They win through clever engineering and effective powerplants, not devil-may-care spending.



Support REAL MCLARENS!

Yeah but do I care about Bruce Mclaren? Do I care if the F1 is a REAL Mclaren? Not really, no.

I, like many others, simply want a model kit version of probably the best supercar ever made. Now I have resigned myself to the fact that it will probably never be released (due to licensing issues), but I hope that maybe if the model car companies (are you listening Tamiya!) realise just HOW in demand this model is that some sort of arrangement could be found.
Now I know that it might not be everyones favourite car but I'm sure the majority of this board would still buy it.

Oh well back to the Profil 24 lump of resin.

for me, the good old lotus elise and tvrs griffith, cerbera, tuscan and tamora come way before the F1.

No, ALL of them should already have been released!

..and you know you'd buy the mclaren

I would definitly want a Mclaren F1 from Tamiya !

I'll sign the petition for a 1/24th McLaren F1!
The M8D would be nice but we've already got the AM M8B, much rather build a car Bruce won in than died in. On the subject of CANAM McLarens, a kit of the final M20 would round things out.

Someone should start a Petition on www.petitiononline.com for that McLaren F1

My vote:

Any of the "less desirable" and four seat classic/vintage Ferraris, 330GTC, 365GTC, 308GT2+2, 250GTE.....
