I was under the impression that McLaren still used the fluro "Marlboro" red for the trim on their current cars. Therefore the orangey decals are probably about right.

Juging by the fact that the kit includes the strake running down the rear of the engine cover, I would say it's representative of Malaysia - that's the race where the rear strake appeared on the car.

I was talking about their F1 kits, mainly the newer F1 kits which have really nice panel lines. I don't have any close-ups of them but these should get you an impression of it...




I have the Aston too and I don't know how "bad" your's are but mine look just fine after some re-scribing.


I will post a progess thread soon... that's the plan atleast.
