McLaren SLR
Hey guys, here's my McLaren SLR, built OOB and painted in Tamiya TS-40 metallic black. The kit is great with tons of detail, unlike their SC430 and Honda NSX kits that have come out recently.
The only build problem I had is the doors and hood don't really fit in the "closed" position. I have a KA-models SLR 722 transkit on the way...I'll post pictures once it arrives, anyway, let me know what you think.

Re: McLaren SLR
Have you noticed that the rear wheels are fitted on the wrong sides, they are facing the wrong direction.
Other than that, nice build. Shaun.

Re: McLaren SLR
Great build up! Love the matte finish on it...or was it not intentional? Looks great tho!

Search a little and you should find a bunch that's suitable for you (mainly the shipping costs and reputation) HTH, Steve

Re: McLaren SLR
I like it so much! It looks almost like carbon fiber-ed everwhere if you look at it from a distance. Nice job! Thanks for sharing your great model.

Re: McLaren SLR
Thanks for the nice comments everyone...I was going for a matte finish as you suggested blubaja, I'm so tired of seeing SLRs in silver.
I ordered the KA-models kit from Hobby Easy...$72 USD with shipping. The only problem is only 2 of the 3 fret of photo etch are included, and it looks like the mailman kicked the box to my house.

Re: McLaren SLR
I'm currently half way through making one of these. They do have absolutely superb detail to it! Looks like I'm going to have to buy another one now so I can have the 722 edition too!!!
Nice build.

Re: McLaren SLR
the rear wheels are a good example of why you don't after 10pm...
it's also a shame how the doors don't really open/close...the Enzo/FXX models seem to have much better fit
