Hi Steve,

WOW
you push modelling hobby on another planet !
Your model really appear to me as "scale model" in its first and best sens, as it really looks like the real one... just a bit smaller !!

I have no better words to express my admiration of you work on this model...

This is sincerely one of the greatest (if not the greatest) scale model Formula one I've ever seen...


Phil

Re: Tamiya McLaren MP4/5B

Great work!
Its one of those builds that you know they are good while you follow the WIP but when it's finally finished it still surprises you on a level you couldn't imagine.
Man, it's just a beauty of a build!
Thanks for sharing.
