UT Models McLaren F1 Touch-up (Pics)
Hey everyone at AutomotiveForums. This is my first post and found a lot of good stuff here already. I recently got a 1/18 scale UT Models McLaren F1 roadcar and although I love the shape of the McLaren, there were a few things that bothered me. For starters, the ride height, in fixing this, I was able to add a slight camber angle on all the tires. The brakes now have golden calipers, the insides of the exhaust tips are painted black to make them look more like holes, and I added screens to the air ducts in front of the car and in the back of it as well. Well...enjoy.

Beautiful job u've done!
it takes a whole lot of guts to mod/touchup a UT Mac for the simple fact that they are so expensive!! |

Hey man, thanks. I definitely was playing with fire working on something that costs me so much, but I just couldn't help myself. Great thing I didn't get burned!

Re: UT Models McLaren F1 Touch-up (Pics)
Looks good but for a low car to begin with it's a little too low for me.

Yeah, it's actually very low. The way it looked when i first got it actually had the back jacked up higher than the front. Thanks for the complements. I appreciate them.
