McLaren MP 4/6 Honda - Tamiya 1/12

Hello,
I read the forum for quite time but it will be my first WIP.
I built a few models already, but this will be the first model F1 car.
It will be a model of McLaren MP 4/6 Honda Tamiya 1/12

I start from the engine.
Cut out the individual elements and prepared for painting. I painted the engine block and gearbox.
A little work was with painting the valve covers with the logo of Honda and niches in which are the spark plugs.










invite to comments.

Re: McLaren MP 4/6 Honda - Tamiya 1/12

Today I finished the driver's seat. What changed is that I cut sticks imitate the upper handle bars, drilled eight holes, and I let the screws and handles that are made ​​of steel wire of 0.5 mm and four bushings.
Added to the upper brackets and eight bushings I added the bottom of the seat belt oversize so that there was a slight mess.

Re: McLaren MP 4/6 Honda - Tamiya 1/12

Today I worked on the front and rear shock absorbers.
Since Tamiya dampers were not compatible with the original so filed a new shock absorbers on a lathe.
