RancheroSteve Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Have fun. I've got two awaiting me..... Me too - my thought is to do one all opened up with full detail, and another all buttoned up and only detail what shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy Ed Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Hi There Derrick Wonderin'. If you're planning on a Modern version wouldn't you want to put EFI on the Engine instead of Mech Fuel Inj. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Van Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 The AM McLaren kit is a great little kit. It got somewhat slammed when it came out due to the vinyl braided lines. I build a number of the kits for AM. I was living in Charlotte and knew most of the folks there....so they had me build a few kits for hobby shows and some went to the UK for McLaren home office. You can see on this build the fuel injector lines are missing....as they were on all my builds. The engine cover interfered with them if you used them. It's too bad the kit will never be seen again....although id you really want one you can still find them. This kit was the first kit in a planned series of roadracers......but the only one made. From what I understand the tooling was scrapped after AM went under so a short lived kit for sure. The 'new' AM located in Concord had a box of parts bags, enough to make 3-4 complete kits....they were tossing them so I grabbed them. But still burnt out on all those I built before. NICE to see someone do a great job on one...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
