Tamiya Mclaren MP4/5B WIP

Well I've been working on this here and there since Christmas break. It is my first "true" model I've done since i was 13. I did a "chopper" model just for shits and giggles earlier this year but this one has taken most of my time. Its close to being done, but I have a few things to do still. One is to finish a couple figures i have for the model that my wife purchased for me. The other is also a purchase from my wife... a set of "modelers" tire warmers with a generator. I believe in the end i will keep them off of the model and have them sit off to the side to show off the brakes. The decals are Tabu decals, except for the shell decals. The shell decals on the Tabu set were too large so I opted, for the original decals. I also had a issue with a small shell decal for the tank, so thats a little oops on the model i didn't show. All in all let me know what you think, and dont forget its my first model in 12 years, so dont be too hard on me. Oh and sorry for the blurry photos.








More updates to come in the coming weeks.

Hey looks oob but very clean, I still got a few of these Mclarens boxed up, I should start building them when I am ready. Nice job on the red strips, and overall shine. Can you tell me what paint/ colours you use for the Mclaren fluorescent red ?

the red is TS-36 flourcesent red spray.

Looks really good I just bought this kit last week I am looking forward to building it. You just need to work on your pictures I live in a blured world so it makes it hard to look at
