Fujimi McLaren F1

After a 5 month delay, I've finally finished my stock Fujimi McLaren F1. Actually, I realized after photos I should scratchbuild the missing black rocker areas that Fujimi forgot...

Very basic kit with a lot of simplification and corner-cutting. It still looks pretty decent when built. I used some of the p/e set, and left other for an F1 LM conversion (I'm still waiting to see if Aoshima might do that...).

Paint is Testors Honduras Maroon, overcoated w/Tamiya transparent orange. Wheels are Tamiya 360 Modena...the stock F1 wheels bore me to tears.

I'd share my WIP but the above menus and smilies are refusing to work...

Really nice color choice! Is it the acrylic paint range you've been using?

Thanks!

Paint is all decanted and airbrushed, the Testors and Tamiya are acrylic lacquers, the U-Pol clear I believe is a 1K urethane.

Great Work as usual Bob! Love the colour choice!
I just got Fujimi's F1 LM Gulf (short-tail) & must say I'm rather disapointed!
Why must Fujimi make the doors either open or closed...

Same thing for me too. But the shape of the spokes works well with the body.
Nice model !

Re: Fujimi McLaren F1

The color in person is just delicious...
It looks like it should taste like cinnamon
