McLaren MP 4/4 - 1988 Candian GP

[Scuderia.]

I did a similiar thing with the front suspension on my 5B, including filling the chassis cutouts under the lower arms. It did involve some angst and stuffing around.



It worked pretty well and looks much better than the stock setup. Only problem is that there is now a lttle flex in the arms so the front of the car sits on the ground. So keep an eye on that if it concerns you, or make a small spacer to go under the nose to raise the car slightly
I also removed those horrible dampers and scratched some new ones. It will be real easy for you to do the same and look much better than the stock setup.

Great start, can't wait to see this come together.

Looks like you're heading down the right alley :-) The suspension arms will definitely look better. To re-attach them drill holes and add metal pins ( I did the same on my Jordan ). But dry fit and build everything up before you start painting and decaling or you run the risk of messing the surface up :-)

The little blobs you cut off at the rear attachment points of the upper A-arms to the chassis are actually not completely wrong...just quite simplified :-) On the real car there are little brackets that hold the bodywork...

The seatbelt is 6-point btw :-)
