COMPLETE: McLaren MP4/5B
Tamiya kit, all Tamiya paint, some PE rivets from SMS, Top Studio supporting rods, some wiring, and MSM decals. I ended up scratch building the oil lines. They are just some resin compression fittings with styrene rod bent to shape covered in cake decorating foil.
I also added brake lines, smaller linkage up front too (that skinny black one). All in all, a very smooth build, although if the cover would have fit the body better in the end, I wouldn't have added any of that stuff. It was meant to be OOTB. Oh well, live and learn to measure TWICE, cut ONCE (or in this case, make sure the body fits PERFECT before commiting to paint, etc.) Erick --

Re: COMPLETE: McLaren MP4/5B
It's a beauty. Enough detail to look really good and, I agree with Mike, the tires look awesome!

Re: COMPLETE: McLaren MP4/5B
Looks great, don´t care about body fit, interior details look so good, just leave the body off

Re: COMPLETE: McLaren MP4/5B
I always enjoy a good F1 build and this one is really nice. Too bad about the body fit. I like it better with the body off.
My 100th post - and all of them complimentary, I think (or at least constructive). Last edited by Greg23; 10-26-2011 at 09:44 AM. Reason: 100th post
