Re: McLaren Mp4/6

WOW Jurgen - very clean assembly - like the detail to the rear wing - body - front wing. I see you also made a tension cable for the front wing side pod like Peter (Caymen). You two are building a pair of beautiful MP4/6s. Both are so good I can't determine which one I think is better - you both have excellent modeling skills. Also I see the difference in the fluorescent red-orange now between this one and the one Peter is doing.

Looking forward to more posting Jurgen

John

The Tabu number decals are not a match to the paint. After seeing the real cars at Donington I can tell you that the number decals on the real car don't match the paint. They are a much darker shade almost a brown/orange hue and not fluorescent at all, hope this helps..

Wow Jurgen this is really coming alone nicely - very clean construction
The PP brake kit must have taken some patience to complete - they do look good
sincerely

Re: McLaren Mp4/6

Jurgen - I agree with Steve - it is really starting to take shape
look very good - just the right amount of detail and very cleanly built
You will be proud to display this when you are finished.
I have this kit too with the PP sets but I need to improve my skills on cheaper models before I try to do one of these
Watching your WIP have given me some good ideas and things to try
John
